Cooking with fire is the hallmark of Francis Mallmann’s style. He hails from deep in Patagonia, Chile, but his bold rustic cooking and way of life are world renowned and could just as easily be from Montana.
Mallmann owns nine restaurants located all around the world but chooses to make his home on an island in Argentina with no phone service. His departure from the hustle and bustle of being a globally renowned chef and his bold and eccentric attitudes towards life and art have added to his mystique.
He is a rock star among celebrity chefs, but one that does not seek the spotlight. His magic is that he draws you to him, uncompromising of the things that make him unique. He is beyond a doubt the highest example of a “fiercely free” chef.
The pinnacle of his perfection may have been winning the coveted James Beard award in the most Andean way possible, with potatoes as his featured ingredient. Now his world-renowned team is commissioned in exotic places worldwide to create their culinary masterpieces over an open flame.
Mallman’s exploits could be those of a deity worshipped by anyone who has ever cooked over a campfire. Learn more about the food, the man and the legend in the third episode of the Netflix series “The Chef’s Table.”
