“All my favorites, including a dish from my grandmother,” she wrote. Jon Rahm after announcing the menu he had chosen for the traditional dinner of champions of August Mastersthe first grand slam of golf to be held from April 11 to 14. Diners will no doubt be licking their fingers on the evening of April 9 with all of Rahm’s selection of dishes, which are obviously deeply rooted in Basque cuisine. Jon decides the menu with the chef Jose Andres.
The defending champion has the honor of choosing the menu for the Champion Dinner that will be served during the week of the tournament. It is one of the great traditions of the Masters, that the winner also wears the most coveted garment in golf, the green jacket.
After premiering in 2021 US OpenRahm won his second Grand Slam title last year at Augusta and therefore has the honor of selecting the 2024 menu.
For starters, Rahm will offer a variety of tapas and ‘pintxos’: Iberian ham, chistorra with potatoes, idiazabal cheese with black truffle, stewed lentils (your grandmother’s recipe)potato omelette and chicken croquette.
A ‘txangurro’ salad (crab) will be the first course and, as the main course, Masters champions will be able to choose between grilled steak either turbot with frillsmeat or fish, according to each person’s preferences, all accompanied by a special selection of white and red wine from their area. Cream and cream millefeuille It will be dessert.
“I called José Andrés and in ten seconds he made me the menu. I told him ‘put it’, very quick call and he gave me the best advice, ‘make the menu, make the dinner that you want for yourself. that you’re at home,” Rahm explained at a press conference.
“And that’s what I did. They’re traditional things. They’re the things I like. José took the reins, I’m not going to limit him to anything, but he gave me that advice. Don’t think what you will do. what I like most. , but rather what I like,” explained the Basque golfer.
Jokingly, Rahm warned guests that the steak should be eaten “rare” and that those who requested it rarer would receive “some strange looks.”
“Normally I don’t have a problem with public speaking, but the idea of getting up and having everyone look at me and talking to these champions is a little nerve-wracking. I’m not going to prepare a speech, I’m going to go with whatever is in I think. I’m going to speak from the heart, and that’s usually what makes the best speeches. A few glasses of wine will help me with that conversation,” laughs Jon Rahm.
