About

Degustador

Features

If there is one pleasure in this world that belongs exclusively in human nature that is the appreciation of great food. Often regarded just as a basic need, the food we eat is what defines our identity. It’s a millenary reflection of our culture and our history. However, the craft of making great food has been receding and giving way to a mass profanation of our culture. An accelerated commoditization of our culinary heritage. Slow and meticulous handcraft replaced by automated processes. Live and nutritious ingredients replaced by synthesized chemicals. Love and passion replaced by optimization and profit. Our vibrant legacy replaced by a dim future. This is a call to all of you whose fine taste and high standards have prevailed. To all of you who yearn for the flavors of our youth. To all of you willing to travel long distances just to delight the senses. To all of you, the *connoisseurs*, the *degustadores*. Let’s reclaim the art of great food. Join the movement that will keep us all united. A place to find and share only the greatest places to eat and drink. Join the club. Degustador.
