Chef who fed 15,000 people on a bridge 28 years ago today #PortugalFood #LisbonFood #MichelinStar
28 years ago today, Michel da Costa, Portugal’s first Michelin-starred chef, fed 15,000 people on a 5km-long table on the opening of the Vasco da Gama Bridge. The biggest dining event in history.
His son Olivier built one of Lisbon’s most iconic restaurants, where entrecote steak with Café de Paris sauce became the dish of the city. Now his grandson Mateus is turning that legendary steak into a delivery sandwich. Steak frites. Café de Paris sauce. In a baguette.
We had to know if a dish this iconic could survive a delivery box.
