"Gerry
Dawes, the unbridled Spanish food and wine enthusiast cum expert whose
writing, photography, and countless crisscrossings of the peninsula
have done the most to introduce Americans—and especially American food
professionals—to my country's culinary life. He has connected with all
manner of people working at every level and in every corner of Spain. I’m always amazed at this reach. You
can step into a restaurant in the smallest town in Spain, and it
turns out they know Gerry somehow.”--Chef-restaurateur-humanitarian José
Andrés, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Chef-partner, Mercado Little Spain at
Hudson Yards, New York.
