Desde la mirada de un chef
Son casi 60 años dentro de las cocinas. El chef cocinero Jacques Teillard proviene de la región francesa llamada Bretaña, marítima por excelencia. Y él -de hecho- fue marinero también. Aunque, finalmente, no se pudo resistir al llamado de la pasión por la cocina.
Una experiencia extraordinaria en El Mercado
Llevaba trabajando como 12 años en el sector gastronómico y hotelero antes de iniciar la aventura de El Mercado. Roberto Mora, proviene de una familia vinculada a este sector desde la época de su abuelo, Cornelio Vintimilla, quien fue el fundador de Huertos Uzhupud. A Roberto le apetece que la gente sienta que detrás de lo que se pone en la mesa hubo un trabajo de pensar, formular, poner en escena, seres humanos creando.
