Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, was visiting Spain after globally presenting the new iPhone 15. The main objective of his visit was to meet with the company’s teams in our country, as well as customers.
The top leader of the Apple brand has taken advantage of this trip to try the capital’s most famous food in Madrid, the ‘cocido’. He has done it together with the famous chef, Dabiz Muñoz, at the historic Lhardy restaurant.
This is how stew is served in Lhardy
Cook and Muñoz took Lhardy’s Madrid ‘cocido’. This is served in two pours. First, a soup with angel hair noodles is served. Afterwards, they have the pico pardal chickpeas from Astorga, with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes… and with a lot of meat: Iberian ham, Iberian rib, blood sausage, sausage, Iberian bacon, blood sausage, Galician cow marrow, crispy ear with brava sauce.
For dessert, the two diners enjoyed a souffle, characteristic of Lhardy. “Incredible food,” Cook commented on his X account (formerly Twitter), “with the incomparable chef @Dabizdiverxo in Lhardy.” And he finished by saying: “The best Cocido Madrileño“
