Kadeau restaurant in Bornholm, in Denmark, is where Christian Milone had "one of the 3 dinners of a lifetime". The chef from Pinerolo wishes the winner of the third edition of Premio Birra Grand Cru, to be chosen on Monday, to experience the same emotions he lived during this last year (foto troelso.wordpress.com)
2. see part one We say goodbye to Denmark and we move on to Spain. Barcelona. The first thought goes to the Olympic games, to Fabio Casartelli’s Olympic cycling performance... a golden medal that a few years later was transformed into a hard stone on the roads of France. He passed away when he was little over 20... a shiver. The same shiver arrives on the rambla late at night, in the city of great tapas and sangria, the city in which you eat well at all times of day and at a reasonable price. Even here, we had a hotel in a strategic place, in front of the Boqueria, the amusement park for any chef who’s in love with his job, a few metres away from the Taller of the Adrià brothers... The Taller, do you understand?! This is where the revolution of Spanish cuisine started from!

Now that it’s all over, now that in a few days my successor will be chosen, what are the thoughts that remain? Abroad, great restaurants work at full speed: they were all full and reservations had been made long in advance. People are more keen than in Italy to live a great experience of cuisine: seeing clients in flip-flops or vests, or with a newspaper open, on the table, is not a usual thing in places of this level. Some great lessons, are they not??
