This weekend (Jan 31 – Feb 2) it’s food festival time again down by the river in Paseo de Colón. Another delicious collaboration between the Academia Sevillana de Gastronomía y Turismo and Hosteleros de Sevilla, with 13 bars and restaurants from Sevilla (city and province) offering their best stews and desserts, with music, cooking demos and other fun stuff. Looking forward to it!

chef Óscar with Reyes

Today I spent the afternoon with my friend Reyes Morales. Nothing unusual there as some of my most pleasant afternoons are spent with Reyes. But this time was different in that I was there to interview her (!) for an upcoming Substack post on the 175th anniversary of Casa Morales. I mean, I already knew a lot about the bar and its history, and also a fair bit about Reyes, but I discovered there was so much more that I didn’t know. It was fascinating listening to her story as we sat at the bar with me scribbling notes while we enjoyed tapas and wine together. Hoping to get it published over the weekend. Stay tuned…
