Tell us about blind tasting. How did you decide on showcasing your food with this concept?

I believe this concept will help patrons take pleasure in and discover Spanish food like never before. With the activity of Blind Tasting I am really curious to know how far the food, in terms of taste, flavours has reached to all my guests. In India, I would really like to know what they feel about the food, the concept & I would definitely like to educate them more about Spanish Food. This way, as curiosity rises, I will be be able to explain about the eating culture and habits of Spanish people.
