Toni Massanés

Toni Massanés is the Director General of Fundación Alícia, a foundation dedicated to food and science. He is currently newsworthy due to his recent appearance on the podcast 'Quédate a Comer' (Stay for Dinner). In this appearance, he discusses gastronomy and reflects on the responsibilities within the culinary world, particularly in light of recent allegations of physical and mental abuse by chef René Redzepi of the Danish restaurant Noma. Massanés suggests a shift in perspective, advocating that chefs should not be seen as solely responsible for 'saving the world'. His commentary is relevant in the context of ongoing discussions about ethical practices and accountability within the high-end restaurant industry and the broader food system.
