Pierre Igoa, Amerikanuak – Basque American visits Chicago steakhouse to enjoy food inspired by Basque kings of the barbecue, ASADOR BASTIAN is a “Chicago chophouse with Basque influences from acclaimed Chef Doug Psaltis. Located in the iconic “Flair House” originally built in 1883, this historic townhouse has been revived and brought back to life with culinary inspiration from the great asadors of San Sebastián, Spain to serve the world’s best boutique beef without compromise.”

We were fortunate to be escorted upstairs to sit at the Chef’s Table, having full access to the kitchen.

Basque cuisine has its roots in the Basque Country. Traditional dishes include meats and fish grilled over hot fires of coal and wood, plats of marmitako and lamb stews, cod, Tolosa bean dishes. Let’s not forget Lekeitio, a port town and home to El Cano, known for its pintxos (Basque tapas), Idiazabal sheep’s cheese, txakoli (sparkling white wine), and Basque cider.

The Basque people come from the region of northern Spain and southern France and speak the oldest language of Europe, which they call “Euskara.”
