Barcelona's haute cuisine gem 'Disfrutar' has been named the World's Best Restaurant in the 22nd edition of "The World's 50 Best Restaurants."With this accolade, head chefs Mateu Casañas, Oriol Castro, and Eduard Xatruch have added another star to the Catalan culinary sky, joining the ranks of El Bulli, el Celler de Can Roca, and others. The name "Disfrutar" means "enjoy" in Spanish and reflects the restaurant's philosophy of offering visitors an extraordinary dining experience that taps into their senses, emotions, and memories. Gerard Escaich Folch joins Lea Beliaeva Bander to chat about the restaurant's gastronomic success and its origins.We visit Disfrutar in the heart of Barcelona's Eixample district and catch up with Eduard Xatruch, who shares some of the secrets behind the exclusive eatery. This week, Xatruch brings us the Catalan phrase: "No diguis blat fins que estigui al sac i ben lligat," akin to the English "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
