If anything, this proves that creatively speaking we are at the forefront.

When the best restaurant in the world (In my opinion) does this a year later... well....

Also... I notice Chef Rasmus follows Homies on IG.

Cheese 🧀

We made our own Queso. We embedded Fresh and roasted Jalapeños in it, baby herbs.

Then we made a Jam with dates, raisins, raspberries, Chipotle Meco and smoke.

Then we made crispy Sh*take Mushrooms.

Then a salsa made with fried Guajillo.

Then corn flowers.

The iceberg illusion....

Yes, it looks simple but there's a lot of thinking behind this.

Someone told me... "ahhh it's easy!"

Nope... I make it look easy.

Much Love Homies ❤️
