 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

CHIMICHURRIS



Nicolas Modad, an experienced Argentine chef and co-owner of the restaurant Chimichurris, came to Europe in 2010 to do a Master’s degree in Kitchen Management (Barcelona).

He then landed in London and started working at Brindisa as Head Chef for 5 years. In 2017, he went to work for the Meliá Group in Cuba for 8 months as Executive Chef. His return to London was encouraged by his current business partner at Chimis.

Federico Fugazza, founder of Porteña (Argentinean street food and products) in Borough Market in 2007, where they met.

Nico advised Federico on Porteña and they worked together for 6 months. This led to the opening of their Argentinean Parrilla “Chimichurris” in Southwark. Nico has extensive experience of grilling. 

Back in Argentina, he happened to be the chef at the prestigious Llao Llao Hotel in Patagonia, where he cooked the famous Cordero Patagonico (Patagonian lamb slow cooked over charcoal), and worked in many other places.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
