Yuri Márquez, son of Quim Márquez, Quim de la Boquería, La Boquería Market, Barcelona.
It seems only like just last year, when I took Quim, Yuri, then barely a teenager, and his little brother to Chinatown in New York City for dinner. Now the guy is the heart-throb of La Boquería.

This article on Quim de la Boquería in Barcelona, is another in a series of articles on restaurants and tapas
bars from around Spain that I think, from my very personal experience,
deserve Five of Five Dalí POM (Persistence of Memory) Melting Watch
Award pins. I frankly don’t give a damn about Michelin ratings, Repsol
or any of the rest. I have been traveling and eating and drinking wine
all over Spain for nearly 50 years and I have been to the
restaurants in these articles multiples times. Yes, I am influenced by
the friendly relationships I have with many of the chefs and owners of
these establishments, but I would not have built these friendships if these chefs, restaurants and establishments were not as good as they are. And I take into consideration the downside for
those who might not be connected in some of the restaurants I am writing
about. Nonetheless, I personally have had repeated Five Melting Watch experiences
in all the places I am going to write about.
