In 2010, with my friend Drew Nieporent holding a platter with a whole rodaballo (turbot) fresh off the outdoor grills at one of the greatest fish restaurants in the world, Elkano, in Getaria, The Basque Country, Spain, 30 kms. west of San Sebastián.
Since we are all cooped up in our homes and cannot travel and I am undergoing Spain withdrawal, I am going to be posting a series of photographs taken in Spain on many of my wine and food trips there with some of the American, Spanish and international chefs and food personalities, winemakers and well-known people I have been with on trips, outings and excursions I have led and conferences I have attended. Comments are welcome.
All photographs are copyright by Gerry Dawes©2020 and, other than passing them along with credit on Facebook, publication is not authorized without my written permission.

In December, 2009, Dawes was awarded the Food Arts Silver Spoon Award in a profile written by José Andrés.
". . .That we were the first to introduce American readers to Ferran Adrià in 1997 and have ever since continued to bring you a blow-by-blow narrative of Spain's riveting ferment is chiefly due to our Spanish correspondent, Gerry "Mr. Spain" Dawes, the messianic wine and food journalist raised in Southern Illinois and possessor of a self-accumulated doctorate in the Spanish table. Gerry once again brings us up to the very minute. . ." - - Michael & Ariane Batterberry, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher and Founding Editor/Publisher, Food Arts, October 2009.
