Chef José Andrés hallucinates with a "three delights" paella from a 5-star hotel in London: "If it looks like that... Don't ask for it"

The well-known Spanish chef, José Andrés, has raised controversy on social networks after his forceful tweet giving his opinion on a paella prepared in the British culinary reality show The Five Star Kitchen, which is broadcast on Channel 4.

The dish that has made the Spanish chef hallucinate is a paella presented by one of the contestants, which also left the jury of the program speechless and which was divided into three sections: black rice paella with squid, chicken paella, chorizo ​​and smoked pepper, and a third of seafood paella.

In the culinary reality show, the contestant received praise for the presentation of his paella, highlighting the large quantity, variety and elegance. However, public opinion has not been slow to express his astonishment and chef José Andrés has not been able to avoid giving his opinion on the matter.

"People from England. When you visit Spain, don't look for disasters like that "paella"... if it looks like that... don't ask for it," the canary posted on his Twitter.

In addition, in a humorous tone, and accompanied by laughing emojis, José Andrés has said that "it is probably the worst paella in the history of humanity".

The reaction of the Spanish chef has generated a great impact and has caused the video that accompanies his publication to go viral and accumulate thousands of views.

The Five Star Kitchen program has the prestigious chefs Michel Roux Jr, Ravneet Gill and Mike Reid on its jury, and chef José Andrés' Twitter criticism has only created more expectations and an audience for the already popular British culinary reality show.
