A Surprised Assembly of My Life
“La Boca in Buenos Aires is my home, where the table is set not for guests but for blunt tenderness. An outburst of dissidence, opposites, not precisely harmony. Here I cook what we eat—not to impress but to remember. A surprised assembly of my life in your lips. And now, we are bringing La Boca to New York.” — Francis Mallmann
