Sin large rodeos, in Portugal, to eat well, it is known in advance that there is no better place to do it than in a tavern – and the new program of Rui Unas on channel Home and Kitchen come and prove it.
“Between Tascas”, is the name of the one who will become the favorite will of the ‘’taskers’ from november 7.
To make her hungry now, we spoke exclusively with the host of the programwe learned the names of some of the guests and not only!
In a country where the table is also a meeting place, conversation and sharing, the taverns are part of the Portuguese identity and, in this universe, made of flavors, stories and unique characters, will still learn more about each region. In addition a keen sense of humor and good mood always come to the table.
Do you smell home cooking?
Read the interview below to get to know more details of Rui Unas' new program.
Is this theme familiar to you or is it not in your comfort zone?
In fact, this kind of content is natural for me to do: interaction with people in a relaxed environment, with plenty of room for improvisation.
Still, did you find anything that challenged him? (In personal and professional terms). What?
The challenge here is always to create an identity in the content that dignifies the value and importance of these spaces that are much more than places where you eat. These are expressions of our identity as a country.
What does it highlight from the experience that lived along the recordings?
Realize that all spaces are different, with an “aura” that are the owners, or cooks, or waiters who “farm”.
Food is obviously important and is in itself an expression of our culture, but it is the personal relationship that creates with customers that singularizes them. You go to a taco, not only for food, but also because we feel good there.
Was it just eating or did they get their hands on it?
Obviously.
What were your favorite moments?
There are ‘cutters’, without any pejorative sense, on the contrary, which are very ‘repentant’, with an incredible capacity of improvisation and sense of humor. I laughed a lot with Fatty Tasca Vitor in Setúbal, for example.
What have become of your election clubs?
Relax, the show's just started. It's too early to make any kind of top.
What guests can we expect? And how many episodes?
For now this season has 10 episodes. In each program there is always a guest who has something to add about this universe. Some more unusual than others. I've had an oenologist, a footie, a people's decipherer (Alexandre Monteiro), a chef and Fátima Lopes, to see the diversity.
What else can you do for the show?
We realize that there are a number of spaces that deserve to be known and that I may be doing this program by 2040.
And what more surprises do you have throughout the program?
I'd say each show is a surprise, for the dish that can be as traditional as possible as it can have a twist or a secret revealed.
The guests may also be a surprise because all of a sudden we can have a politician like a fadista talking to me about tascas in a tavern.
