Last month, I made my way to Yucatán in Mexico for events of The Best Chef Awards 2023 ! This is my second time attending the festivities and on the first day, we heard from a panel of speakers on the topic of “ORIGINS & FUTURE” at the beautiful mansion museum El Pinar in Merida . Speakers included Junghyun Park of Atomix, Rodolfo Guzman of Borago, Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil, Manu Buffara of Manu Restaurante, Mariana Poo of Traspatio Maya, and Wilson Alonzo of Ya'axche .
