Excited to see this online (after ALL THAT RESEARCH)! The longer print version is also out now, and I’m hoping to get one soon for my collection. This is the list part.

chef Jorge Manfredi with Pedro Sánchez-Cuerda, director of Grupo La Raza
Enamórate de Sevilla (Fall In Love with Sevilla) is the name of the latest tasting menu being offered at Ispal (Grupo La Raza) created by their new chef Jorge Manfredi. I had been invited to try the original tasting menu when Ispal first opened in 2018 and while they have kept about 30% of the previous chef’s menu, the rest is new by Manfredi. Also new is a much expanded wine list, which now boasts over 400 Andalusian wines.
It’s a “kilometre 0” menu, with locally sourced products and reinterpreted dishes that are based on traditional Sevilliano recipes, and is divided into four parts: Vamos de Tapeo!, Vámanos a la Feria, Paseo por Sevilla and Desserts. We started off with a vermouth cocktail and had some wonderful wine pairings throughout.
The tasting menu is 59€ per person, 89€ with wine pairing and 109€ with the premium wine pairing. For more information have a look at their website. Photos of the meal below…

How do you make ceviche without fish? YOU DON’T.
You make a salad with a lime juice dressing. Duh.

Started rewatching The Wire this past week for the fifth (sixth?) time.
Each season a different artist performs the series theme song, penned by Tom Waits. They are all excellent, but I still like the Tom version best.
