Pintxos Crawl with Michelin Star Chefs: MUNCHIES Guide to the Basque Country (Episode 5)
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 02. 2015
- MUNCHIES is back in San Sebastian for a Michelin-starred chef blowout in the final installment of our Guide to the Basque Country. We’ll get a look inside the kitchen of the legendary Martín Berasategui, godfather of Basque nouvelle cuisine and holder of seven Michelin stars total in restaurants across the world.
Finally, a trip to the Basque Country wouldn’t be complete without a night out getting pissed on Txakoli wine and stuffing your face with pintxos. And while she gets wasted, Irene is rolling deep with three more Michelin-starred chefs: Dani López, Gorka Txapartegi, and Joxe Mari Arbelaitz.

This is not who I thought would be my favourite host, but girl, you are fantastic!
***** Yes she is great, but she also gets very impacient and starts annoying the chefs at some times.
***** yes because they can't do anything more, I speak spanish so i can clearly see and understand that the chefs are getting somewhat uncomfortable.
I mean, not in the level of "Huh, what an annoying cunt" but in a way of "This aspect of her I don't like"
Agreed, she is a great host.
I would like to get wasted with her
HugsmadeDrugs Yeah I also speak spanish quite fluently and you are quite delusional. They actually feel very comfortable with her :)
She rocks!!
seriously good save by that guy to catch the wine glass at the end
I know right! I was like ohhh shiiii- *NICE FUCKING SAVE MAN*
More Irene plz. I just about died at the scene in Berasategui's kitchen!
She's wonderful. The wife and I think she's adorable. Why have we not seen more of her? What a character
There's been nothing but haters on these videos so far, glad people seem to be less negative on this one, this girl is awesome.
She took a bit to get used to but damn she grew on me! The last three episodes I was eagerly awaiting.
For all we know, the haters may have been those obnoxious cat-callers from the car after she was at the steak restaurant! Or are cat-callers themselves.
Great series. Sad it's over ... More Irene please!!
Seriously. Wasn't so sure at first but she has a knack for travelling and taking everything in stride as it comes. Awesome personality. I want to see more of her as well!
Actually San Sebastian is the City with highest density of Michelin stars per person, and I think the second one with the most, only behind tokyo
This 5-part documentary on the foods and cuisine in Basque country is a culinary marvel. One of the most detailed and complete food documentaries I have ever seen. It did not hurt, of course, that the show was blessed with a charming and very competent guide, Irene. Or that the Basque region has one of the greatest concentration of Michelin-star chefs in the world: the result of the Basque people's obsession with good food, both by preserving centuries-old traditions, and by experimenting outrageously with the biochemistry of the edible.
Like a teenager, I'm in love with everything Basque! I want to quit my job and move to the region to cook in any one of those restaurants. This one, by far, was my favorite series, yet. Keep this going, and don't change a thing. Keep the same crew, and send them all over Iberia.
The first genuine TV food show host I have seen since Keith Floyd, Rick Stein, and Anthony Bourdain. Give how many TV food show hosts there are, that is an amazing feat. Incredibly rare.
More Irene on Munchies!
Como vasco que soy sólo puedo estar agradecido por estos 5 videos que nos has dedicado.
Soy uno más de todos los vascos que estamos enamorados de nuestra tierra, de nuestra gente, de nuestra cultura.
Por norma general, la gente que al igual que tú pasa por nuestra tierra se enamora enseguida, no sólo por la gastronomía, también por el don que tiene la gente de hacerse querer y de ofrecerse con todo el cariño a quien venga a visitarle.
Somos un pueblo muy incomprendido que solo queremos decidir nuestro futuro y vivir en paz y libertad. Y sabiendo que has viajado alrededor del mundo, estoy seguro de que te habrás dado cuenta de que somos un país diferente.
Gracias Irene por habernos dedicado un espacio en vuestros documentales.

Lo paradógico es que con tu comentario das por sentado algo que presupones e imaginas.
Deberias preguntarte en tal caso quién es aquí el que tiene prejuicios.
Porqué peleáis? Yo soy Valenciano y Español como vosotros, y amo mi tierra como ninguna otra. Eso no implica nacionalismo, esta gente está orgullosa de su tierra al igual que yo lo estoy de la mía, y eso no significa que dejemos de ser Españoles.
Tú eres el que ha hecho la distinción como si el País Vasco fuese una región con una cultura radicalmente diferente. A poco que te muevas a otro país te das cuentas que las diferencias entre regiones en españa son mínimas. PS: Yo también soy vasco.
dankspain Me han hablado mucho de un restaurante en San Sebastián llamado Pintxos Askatasuna
Euskal herria es España , no hables por los demás ni decidas por nosotros pequeño fascista
I FELL IN LOVE W/ THE BARTENDER AT LA CEPĀ OMFG
At first, I wasn't so sure I liked her, but damn she grew on me. I was literally excited when I saw the last few of these. Irene needs to be on Munchies more often! And damn, this last episode made me crave going to Spain!
Irine is awesome! Really enjoyed this series, I'm sure I will visit Basque Country some day
To everyone out there judging the host or the directness. Its very normal in Spain. So if you are not from Europe come for a visit. We don't like to talk around it.
You guys have to bring this lady back. She's really entertaining!!
I love the fact that renowned chefs look forward to go out eat and love others chefs food.
I absolutely adore her!
This has been the best Guide To mini-series Munchies have brought out - two thumbs up! Great host and genuinely interesting because she's able to connect with her subjects so well. Now I really want to go to Barcelona!
Agree. She nailed this mini series, I want to see her on Munchies more.
I like their other hosts also (always take it with a grain of salt hehe), but yeah she was a breath of fresh air.
Barcelona is not located in the Basque country.
Robert Borgman
he was referring to the fact tha she is from Barcelona
One of the best videos I have seen on this channel. Great work. This host needs to do more videos...
i want her to host often..
I loved all the vids shes great at showing the Basque Country!
Loved the series, loved the host! makes me wish there is more!
Irene Peralta was a joy to watch and the series was really interesting. It's been 30 years since I traveled in Spain and this makes me want to go back tomorrow! I especially enjoyed her fighting with Martin for the plate he took away (glad she got to try it).
Really one of the most natural and funny scenes!
I was in the Basque Country back in 2012 this video has brought back such great memories!!!. I miss you Euskadi :(
This was an amazing series. I now need to visit!
She seems like so much fun!
I miss the basque countries!! Used to go on trips there every now and then when I lived in Barcelona
best series so far on munchies. Loved it
One of the best food shows I've seen! just what I was looking for
i loved this little series! Keep it up!
Great series munchies. I loved it it!!
Favorite "Guide To" so far. Irene is a nice change of pace.
Mas Irene por favor! She's an awesome host. She's clever, funny, pretty in a girl next door kind of way, and has a bit of a mischievous streak.
Felicidades, lo habéis clavado. :) Espero que hagáis más cosas para Munchies.
This is my favorite series by far! More please :D
Irene learns why the Tolosa bean is the subject of much obsession, then shops for mushrooms and pigeons at a local market.
Hope you folks hire her for other articles in the future, she is great! those little out-takes at the end were funny as well lol. That drunk on food look at 15:07 ,priceless.
Can't get enough of Irene! she is too cool, i think i have a crush.......
instagram, twitter?
Go galicia next best natural produce
Adrian barker @peraltaboix
really nice series!
This is the real way to see San Sebastian for sure. Awesome.
10/10 series, 10/10 host. Very well done.
This serie was awesome!
Drops the wine glass and recovers it with the wine, classic Basque move.
Loving this Journalist, she actually seems interested and she's engaged, definitely need more like her unlike 75% of your roster
True.
That seven-star chef tho...you get why he has seven stars. He wants those who eat his food to only eat it at its very, very best...a really extreme standard of quality he has for his food!
This lady is really good fun. Please use her for more of your shows.
Why are you so thirsty
What a pleasure to find you here.
Amazing series! In a few years I'll visit Basque Country. :)
Have you visited yet? If so, how was it? :)
I was there in 2012 I hope you got to visit :)
Munchies, less trendy shit, more real stuff!
Congrats!
Irene i loved you...
I like it better than United Plates of America.
great series, now I must go!
This was great!
I´ve had the kokotxas al pil pil in a town called Getaria in Spain and it was hands down one of the best dishes i have ever had
Good luck and continued success
Loved the series!! Oso ongi :)
she's cool, I would love to see her again. Thumbs up
i'm amazed he didn't know about the crystal scales. just a quick incursion into khmer and vietnamese cuisine, with the Mekong fish would make that obvious
Amazing opportunity!
Hi Guy's, Thanks for your video. Will check out some of the places featured. Which is the best area to stay in San Sebastion ?
EPIC , thank you vice , only thing I don't understand was about the tempranillo and rioja region, why were the grapes white?
Excellent episode. It is nice to see Spanish (Basque) guys getting a little bit drunk like Northern Europeans (it isn't often you see somebody from Spain drunk -
estaban borrachos, pero no eran borrachos.).
This video made me step into side of cook
So well made video, and this video made me have the best pleasent moment from the cooking documentary.
P.s (i want to go there and eat, but can' afford it to go, and eat....)
nice series with a good host again
I need more Irene in my life :(
I love Spain Seville has been my fav city yet but i really want too go too the Basque country in April may time next year for a week ten days..i live in Brighton England
I lived in Bilbao and loved the food!! Pintxos were a daily dealing.
Bilbao is the best city ever
@@Mel-gv2hd sorry but it’s San Sebastián
Que gozada de documental. He disfrutado como un enano.

Great fucking job. One of the best documentaries.

I grew up on in my teens, Catolin food. My dream is to eat food and in, San Sebastian, Spain. Pinoxs, mmmmmmmm.
i've booked next year's holiday...hola Basque.
do more of the atlantic coast in spain, cantabria, asturias and galicia are all amazing places aswell!!!
Take me back !!!!!
She's totally Konata Izuma from Lucky Star. Great series and great host.
I love that ham! What are the best pintxos there?
Gotta go with baby octopus and chorizo - or anything with anchovies. Even the canned anchovies in the Basque region are killer.
James Fraley yes! Nothing beats octopus or anchovies for pintxos!
Does anybody know the name of the first bar they went to on the pintxos tour?
I've got such a crush on Irene. Come to London and I'll take you to some incredible tapas restaurants ☺️
"Restaurants"
ahpadt sure... :D
would help if finished r eadin you are totally correct! ! I didn't see the words in total! ! I'm an ass sorry for mistake! ! hope to see more of you !!
You should go to catalonia next!
Catalunya*
And to Valencian Community :)
The amo Irene!
Really funny! XD
She's funny and awesome.
more more more
3:20 La cara de los otros chefs mientras esta mujer contradice al "Top Chef" hahaha
Whats the name of the first place they visited??
More Irene please.
14:41 Saved by Basque reflexes.
Muy buenos videos. Por cierto Irene me recuerda a la actriz Eva Green :D
eva green indeed
al final se va sola?
"...I feel for your boyfriend..."
If so, I'm jealous at her boyfriend.
14:43 LOL
I really like this host, relaxed, easy going appreciative etc. But I wish they could have sent someone with a bit more culinary experience/passion for fine cuisine.
She likes to eat and drink, isn't that good enough? Most hosts know or want to know fuckall about food.
5:00 Didn't realize the lead singer of Meshuggah was a Michelin-star chef.
Man is a fucking genius, I will actively seek this place out on my trip to europe.
What's the song??
I like this chick! Great host!
Yo, that was nice and tasty. Just one li'l note on the side: apionabo means celeriac, not celery + turnip (that'd be apio y nabo).
I think the 3 chefs at the end wanted some of irenes pinchos in the hotel room!
