Mario Batali and Turismo Madrid Bring Famed Chefs of Spain Together at the
Tribeca Film Festival to Celebrate the True Tastes of Madrid

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- World-renowned Chef Mario Batali and
Turismo Madrid will host a tasting reception on April 26th at 8:30 pm in honor
of the Spanish, culinary-themed film "The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab"
debuting this year at New York's 7th Annual Tribeca Film Festival. Celebrity
Chef Mario Batali is opening the doors of his award-winning restaurant Del
Posto for this special evening to celebrate Europe's best kept secret of true
Madrid hospitality and charm.
"The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab" is a satirical documentary
featuring Chef Jesus Almagro's adventure throughout the Bocuse d'Or, a
bi-annual European cooking contest where each country chooses their top chef
for a live competitive cook-off preformed at a stadium in Lyon full of noisy,
cheering fans.
Turismo Madrid will be flying in four of Madrid's best 'Michelin Starred'
chefs Pedro Larumbe, Alberto Chicote, Paco Roncero, and of course, the star of
the film, Chef Jesus Almagro, who was voted Spain's best chef in 2006. These
chefs will be recreating the competitive, celebratory, culinary experience
featured in the film by setting up four separate cooking stations where each
chef will perform an interactive 'cooking show' for guests.
Madrid is known for being the home of some of the world's most
distinguished designers, chefs, actors, and filmmakers, but above all, Madrid
is about sharing a good time with local Madrilenos. Unlike Paris or London,
Madrid thrives on embracing foreigners and showing them their love for good
food, good conversations and good times. Turismo Madrid will virtually
transport guests back to Madrid, Spain, treating them to the finest Spanish
wines and olive oils flown in directly from the Madrid region, where they can
be enjoyed in a recreated Spanish atmosphere filled of energetic and vibrant
fun.
As always, this special reception will be strictly guest list only and
made available by the generous compliments of sponsor, Turismo Madrid.
Guests will also be treated to the Tribeca Film Festival's premiere screening
held just before the reception at the AMC 5 Village VII (theater 3) located at
66 Third Avenue.
