自大流行开始以来,已经将超过80,000顿饭分发给了饥饿的人 - 这个数字甚至使人感到惊讶Quebrada Alimentada项目,厨师和所有者Mocotó餐厅(在圣保罗),Rodrigo Oliveira,以及他的妻子,历史学家和激进主义者的美食,Adriana Salay.
When all the services and businesses in Brazil, and the wider world, were forced to close their doors, the couple thought they had to do something to help the many Brazilian families who were going to lose their salaries. As it was impossible to serve everyone, they decided to focus on Vila Medeiros, the neighbourhood in whichMocotóis located (one of the most popular on the São Paulo gastronomic scene).
为了执行任务,奥利维拉(Oliveira)和萨莱(Salay)建立并自大了非营利组织Quebrada Alimentada, turningMocotóinto a food distribution centre for those who needed to eat. Through this initiative, and with the support of the community and many chefs, they provided more than 100 daily meals and 400 food baskets per month to vulnerable people, families and even the network of local monoculture farmers with whom they work, that were also living in a critical situation.
该项目开始悄悄地开始吸引人,其中一张有关篮子捐赠流行的照片。鉴于这一点,这对夫妇认为是时候发展项目了,目的是获得更多帮助。“许多在餐馆里有库存的厨师和招待人员自愿提供帮助。很高兴看到所有这些帮助,我们结盟了,我们有许多供应商的贡献。” Salay说。
由于行动的影响,这对夫妇被评为The Macallan Icon Awardas part ofLatin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021: Past and Future. The award recognises people whose work is producing permanent change in the restaurant industry and wider society. The award will be presented on 22 November at a virtual awards ceremony, in a special edition of the50 Best列表将在整个拉丁美洲大陆的城市中揭示一系列现场活动。
Mocotó是一家位于圣保罗北区的一家餐厅,在城市的工人阶级居住的郊区。这家餐厅于1973年由奥利维拉(Oliveira)的父亲作为一个小市场开业,在2002年看到罗德里戈(Rodrigo)占领了ins绳,它逐渐成为今天的巴西美食机构。厨师从他的谦卑起源中引领了Mocotóin all eight editions ofLatin America's 50 Best Restaurants, telling the story of his family through simple ingredients and traditional Brazilian recipes.
伟德BⅤ安卓下载与这对夫妇谈论了这一奖项,是认可的含义Quebrada Alimentada项目,以及当今餐馆的社会角色。下面,采访以下。
What does the award mean for theQuebrada Alimentadaproject?
Adriana Salay:我们没想到。我们的项目非常本地化,我们专注于我们的社区,即圣保罗的北区。在这方面有更大的项目。罗德里戈(Rodrigo)经常说,我们甚至没有一个项目,这是以前的“动作”。我打电话Quebrada Alimentada一个“反应”,即没有太多计划危机的反应,但这仅仅是因为我们觉得我们必须做某事。我们开始,从未想象过这个故事将获得如此多的影响和这种可见性。一方面,我们对奖项和所有认可感到非常满意,但另一方面,我们很难过,因为我们生活在一个需要这样的项目以便人们吃饭的国家。
这个奖项真正代表了今天巴西的现实?
罗德里戈·奥利维拉(Rodrigo Oliveira):证明我们的行动具有一定的有效性,但是我们感觉我们没有解决问题,实际上我们没有解决问题。我们知道这是一个更大的问题,我们谈到饥饿。因此,我们觉得有必要做真实的事情,因为我们不能要求饥饿的人等待。饥饿是紧急情况。我认为每个人的反应都应该是战斗,以便他旁边的人永远不会用完食物。在巴西,从地理上讲,我们非常接近饥饿,甚至没有花10分钟的时间才能找到饥饿的社区,这一问题影响了我们整个国家。我认为,该奖项的最大意义是使可见的是,本地行动可以产生普遍影响,我们在这里所做的事情比我们想象的要大得多。
您如何看待该行业对该项目的认可,就像我们当前正在经历的项目一样困难?
Adriana:It was very nice. At first, the action was supposed to be very small, we did not even want to disclose too much, as we were a little afraid that we could not help everyone who needed it. But one person took a photo and the action went viral and the news spread, so we decided to spread the word. It was amazing because we had a lot, a lot of support, a lot of chefs and hospitality people who had stocks in the restaurants offered to help. It was very beautiful to see all this, we made partnerships, we had the contribution of many of our suppliers. Social projects, in general, are formed from networks, not individuals. If it weren't for this network, it would have been impossible to do what we are doing today.
您如何看待大流行将改变餐馆与环境的关系?
Rodrigo: Beyond the immediacy, I think it reminds us of the social role that the restaurant has, which in my view is to weave relationships, unite people, that is the nature of what we do - think of a more elongated way. So it is a relationship of people, between nature and culture, country and city. A restaurant is a meeting place and, as its name implies, it is a place to restore: people, communities, and it does so through the celebration that is lived around the table. I think the pandemic reminds us of this, the importance of face-to-face meetings that virtual media cannot replace.
