Local foodies who've frequented notable D.C.-area restaurants such as Jaleo, Cafe Atlantico, or the esteemed minibar are probably familiar with the name Jose Andres. The 40-year-old Spanish born/raised/trained chef came to Washington, D.C. some twenty years ago (settling in Bethesda) and set the restaurant industry on fire with the small plates "tapas" concept.r
On Sunday evening, he was featured in this 60 Minutes segment with Anderson Cooper, which explored Chef Andres' latest culinary pursuit; molecular gastronomy. It was pretty wild stuff (a mojito bite?!?!) Check the vids out and let us know if you've come across similar menu items and techniques on your dinners out. We'd love to know who is attempting this type of cooking locally.
