Francis Mallmann is known for his incredible palette and creating decadent meat dishes for his customers that he makes over an open-flame. However, even if he’s in a rush for time, he explained to Mashed in an exclusive interview that he prefers to make something at home, rather than pulling up to a local drive-thru.
“I live in Argentina, we are not very used to ordering food,” he explained. “I like to go to the kitchen and cook something delicious in 20 minutes or 30 minutes. We spend a lot of time at the table in Argentina at lunch and at dinner. We sit. We set the table. We talk. Then we wash.” The restaurateur even admitted that he enjoys washing the dishes after a meal. “I don’t want to sound prehistoric, but I love washing my pans and my pots and my plates,” Mallmann told us. “I just love it.”

The famous chef believes that ambiance is crucial
The 66-year-old revealed that he believes something transformative can take place when everyone is gathered together at a meal. “Maybe you have a fight, it happens,” he admitted. “But generally we sit down and we talk. We are witty. We have different thoughts. We discuss things. We have wine. And that’s the beauty of it. The important thing is that we were sitting, we were talking and we were sharing and we didn’t have the same points of view, but we had a nice time.”
