Sao Paulo Gastro Tour - March 2005
On my way to Buenos Aires I decided to stay in Sao Paulo for a week with my cousin Gabi who is a cook, and thus fairly well connected to the local food scene.
The plan is to go for a 5-day-long gastronomic tour in Sao Paulo, touching the good, the avant garde, the classic, and the source.
Sao Paulo is a great city (in every aspect, although I mean culinary-wise), and what follows is an account of the places we visit.
I plan to add pictures and some comments on every place as we go along this tour.
We start today with lunch at an Argentinian place offering "creative fusion", called Paula Cocina. For dinner we will visit chef/local celeb Alex Atala's D.O.M. restaurant, apparently the top pick in the city. Atala is a disciple of Michel Bras.
