Guillermo Calabrese, the chef disciple of “Gato” Dumas, died this Friday at the age of 61. Among his bequests is restored the pleasure of food on television by the hand of the emblematic Cocineros Argentinos programmed.
“Cala” drove it for a decade until it finally left the cycle in 2020, with a sad farewell through their social networks. It was with some chagrin but without losing his characteristic good humour.
Considered one of the most federal and most successful cycles of state television, with tours and appearances in all provinces of the country, Argentinian cooks was left in 2020 without what has been its historic and entertaining driver, the so-called Torrent.
He himself communicated it through an affix meaning instagram, in which she didn’t give too many details about the split. But on that occasion clarion he was able to find out what surrounded her unexpected departure.
“It was many years of work Argentinian cooks and the public television: entertainment, fun and learning. I would like to continue, but everything has an end, all ends. I take the best. The good people I’ve met and the affection of the public. I’m very good. Thank you!” Cala wrote.
Among the farewell messages dedicated to the chef, the one from Nancy Dupláa stood out, who wrote to him: “We will miss you, Cala!”.
However, many have complained about the change that the program has been taking in recent times, which has seen the Calabrian work only in the Sunday edition and from home, due to the pandemic.
Guillermo Calabrese’s controversy with Mauricio Macri
Others also recalled the uncomfortable situation that occurred Argentinian cooks in March 2018, when the driver made a comment about the so-called “summer hit”, a song against then-President Mauricio Macri.
At the time, Calabrese – close to Kirchnerism and with a son who joined the army with La Cámpora – had to go public and apologize publicly for what was interpreted as a lack of respect for the president.
“First of all, since I have the opportunity to be here again, I want to thank God and apologize to all those who have been affected in some way, and rightly so, by those comments,” said Guillermo, who took two months to go back to the program
In June of that year, Macri himself made a guest appearance on argentinian cooks, in what was considered a way of giving the short circuit ended.
As it became known shortly after his departure, the pilot failed to renew the contract with kapowthe manufacturer responsible for Argentinian cooks. “We didn’t agree with the producer, the channel has nothing to do with it,” the cook clarified.
