(as Homer Simpson would say, "D'oh!") Trivia: Senor Andres had absolutely soft hands. That's the first thing I noticed and what stuck to mind. They were slightly pudgy and sooo soft. Not at all what I expected of a busy working chef. :) I was slightly overwhelmed when I met him (as at first we were told he wasn’t in) and when we were about to leave, saw him at the reception area and all I could say was “Mr. Andres, we’re such big fans, we’re such big fans.” (as Homer Simpson would say, “D’oh!”)

Thanks to your blog, I became familiar w/ jamon iberico. Tonight, for our 16th wedding anniversary dinner, we went to this new restaurant in LA called The Bazaar by Spanish chef Jose Andres. It's actually a tapas bar and one of the ham entrees was a jamon iberico de bellota plate (even different than the regular jamon iberico entree). OMG, it's like I died and went to ham heaven and we're not even big pig eaters since we're watching our cholesterol levels (that's why I eat vicariously na lang through your blog!). Anyway, it's supposed to be the most prized ham (like you said from black-footed pigs in Iberica fed only w/ acorns) and that's why when I got home, I had to immediately look up your jamon iberica post. (BTW, I was also lucky enough to have a pic taken w/ Mr. Andres. I was so excited, I didn't care if there were celebrities around, it was Mr. Andres I was after. Hahaha! Anyway, I just wanna say thanks to your blog, I wasn't ignorant and knew what jamon iberico was. Galing talaga ng blog mo! MM, just had to share.
