Within this program, various chefs and hospitality and food professionals from the USA will be invited to stay in the Basque Country (after visiting Catalonia) to learn about and experience the culinary culture and food industry of the region. In addition, our guests will be received by well-known local chefs such as Enrique Fleischmann and Martin Berasategui, who will be their guides during their visit, showing them the most emblematic culinary activities of the region. During the course of their stay, a recording team will capture the best moments of the program, to then create a series of shows that will cover all the key points of this cultural convergence.
