We meet at Hondarribia Airport, near San Sebastian. Sammic team will represent this  company at the exhibition accompanying Star Chefs International Chefs Congress (ICC), which will take place September 20-22 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Martin Berasategui, meanwhile, is a speaker at the event. Together we will make BasqueStage grow as a project.

We fly from San Sebastian to Madrid and from Madrid to NYC. Between both flights we have lunch in Barajas Airport in Madrid.

After eight hours of flight we tread on American soil. After doing the customs formalities, the whole team meets at Daniel Boulud’s DBGB Kitchen & Bar in Bowery St. Daniel Boulud and Martin Berasategui are friends since a long time ago and our colleage in the US Jorge Bianchi has chosen the right place to go to.
