And there is a very strange feeling because you don’t know what will happen,” added Juan.

“What I want to say in these times of so much bastardization of the public is that this program, which was full of sponsors, which always measured whoever was in charge, it was born and could be realized precisely by virtue of a public policy, for the respect we should all have for public media. Otherwise he wouldn’t have existed,” he continued, visibly moved.

On the other hand, the program’s pastry chef, Luciano Garcia, expressed his opinion on the matter: “There was a warning from the first moment that There were things that were coming to an end and one was Public TVWe have all heard it openly. I think the program continued to air and we took it as a great gift. And grateful for these 15 years possible thanks to Public TV.”

Like Juan, Luciano imagined the continuity of the program: “We are certain that this is not the end Argentine chefs as a brand. I have no idea what will happen. I know the production company is still in love with the product made, so I hope it’s a new destination. But I don’t have the anguish of the end.”

The series hosted by Rodrigo Lussich and Adrián Pallares also interviewed Mónica Borda, who was moved: “This is not sadness. It’s like when you have to move overnight and they bought your house but you don’t know where the hell you’re going to live. Well, that’s how things are. Then the house, the apartment, the cage appear. The feeling is this: thanks, but it’s over.”

And he concluded: “Chef It’s not just a cooking show, It’s the first cooking show. That the lady who lives in Recoleta sees it, and also the man or woman who lives in a town in Jujuy where there is nothing. Public television is the only signal that reaches those places.
