Antonio Arrabal Jiménez
Participating Chef - Spain
Born in Barcelona, his family moved to Zaragoza when he was two months old, where he studied hospitality management. He has 17 years of experience in luxury hotel kitchens in various cities across Spain. Chef Arrabal has always sought to capture the best of each region and strives to convey that richness of influences and flavors in every dish. As a lover of cooking and good food, he enjoys learning, teaching, and also competing. He has participated in numerous culinary competitions and was a runner-up in the first edition of Top Chef Spain. In 2016, he finally decided to realize a dream he had been nurturing for many years and created La Jamada restaurant, the Burgos center where he is both chef and owner. A few years later, in 2018, LAB La Jamada was created, a laboratory dedicated to cooking workshops and gastronomic research, of which he is the director. Since 2019, he has also worked with Torremilanos Restaurant, contributing his experience in organizing banquets and small and large events in hotels.
