    AXPE, SPAIN - Located in the small village of Axpe, Spain is where you’ll find Asador Etxebarri, considered to be one or the world’s best restaurants and rated #3 in the world by the World’s 50 Best restaurants. Today we’re going to eat there, and I can’t wait to share every dish of the meal with you, coming up in this video!
    Friends in the video:
    José Gómez - Jamón Joselito - www.joselito.com/en/home
    Kevin Chan ( / finediningexp )
    Jeffrey Merrihue ( / xtremefoodies_ )
    It was about an hour drive from San Sebastian to the small village in the mountains, home to Asador Etxebarri within a stone building. The location is beautiful, gorgeous Basque countryside with green grass, natural and fresh.
    Chef and owner Victor Arguinzoniz is a master of cooking everything over fire - he’s Spain’s king of BBQ. When you think about bbq, you often think of steak and meat - and yes you will get one of the best steaks of your life - but it’s so much more than that - you’ll be introduced to seafood and vegetables and everything, kissed by the smoke and grill. Chef Victor sources the best single ingredients from across Spain and serves them simply - he even tells me he cooks primitive style. However, he has truly mastered fire. The food is simple, but as high quality as possible and that’s what stands out.
    Without a doubt one of the best Spanish food experiences and meals in the world!

    I just wanted to say that your videos have changed my life. I have a disorder where any food going into my small intestine has a hard time going through it without myself throwing it all up. The result has been a drastic loss of weight, about 70 pounds. This has left me looking like the skin is just hanging on my bones.
    Well, recently I've been watching all your videos and the enthusiasm of which you enjoy the different varieties of cuisine, has given me a renewed love for foods, and thus my appetite has had a huge positive change in how I also love foods. From ramen noodles, to wagyu beef, to Italian sub sandwiches, to crab legs (you should make a video on how to best eat snow crab legs.) and much much more. My appetite has skyrocketed, all thanks to you, Ying, Micah and all your friends who accompany you on your journeys through the world's kitchens, eating great, diverse, delicious food, and describing each bite in layman's terms.
    Keep up the great video's!

      that®s precisely what has kept spanish cuisine so isolated when compared to other countries like italy or france. Those cuisines tend to place a focus on combinations and technique which can be replicated anywhere in the world. Spanish food heavily relies on simple preparations to make the local ingredients shine in all their splendour. Many people outside of spain don’t know about our food because its really expensive to make a outside of the country.

    Awesome! I’m a Spanish born Yank of mixed descent meaning my folks were both US Servicemen. Fast forward to 2010 I married my wife in El Escorial in Madrid and we desperately tried to make it to this place but I couldn’t secure a reservation in the time we were in Spain. This place is one of my bucket list before I leave this Earth.
