Anyone who has gotten into the food and beverage industry gets a sense of fulfillment from seeing how their offerings bring people together. May it be for celebrations, work-related affairs, or just plainly for the sake of indulging in good chow, food helps chefs like him connect to their customers and fuel the passion needed in their profession which they have wholeheartedly embraced.<\/p>\n

With this philosophy in mind, the artist-turned-chef opened the doors of Spanish restaurant Bueno Tapas and Wine Restaurant in Pasig<\/strong> to the public.<\/p>\n

Buena Comida<\/h3>\n

Known for comforting dishes that reflect Chef Kennedy\u2019s culinary journey in Madrid, Barcelona, and San Sebastian, diners will be delighted to see classic Spanish favorites such as Gambas al Ajillo (spicy garlic and shrimp in olive oil), Estofado de Res (slow-cooked Spanish braised beef), Paella Mixta (Seafood, Spanish chorizo & chicken paella), and Pulpo a la Gallega (Galacian octopus with potatoes, olive oil, and paprika).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was evident to me that I wanted to bring back home the best and the fullest of my Spanish culinary experiences by recreating a comforting dish from these regions. Initially, our dishes at Bueno were greatly influenced by the Tapas and Paellas of Madrid and Barcelona. As we continued to broaden the brand\u2019s appeal by expanding our menu, we also took inspiration from Pintxos, and decided to adapt a more elaborate cooking method, after undergoing my training in San Sebastian,\u201d the chef said.<\/p>\n

Crowd Pleasers<\/h3>\n

Here are a few favorites for when you visit Bueno:<\/p>\n

Arroz Meloso de Rabo de Buey<\/strong> is a unique take on the classic paella as Chef Kennedy and his team incorporate oxtail into the recipe. With the slow and long-hour braising of the oxtail producing a rich, velvety sauce, it has just the right amount of consistency with a distinct beefy flavor.<\/p>\n

Considered a staple among diners, Estofado de Res<\/strong> is beef braised for eight hours, making it fork-tender with superb intricacy to hit the right balance of savor and texture. The sauce that runs through every bite covers the meat with lush finish of deep flavor and color.<\/p>\n
