Santi Santamaria dies in plane travel.

Whoooaa!!!

Very sad news for the Spanish restaurant scene!

(Can Fabes web site is offline due to traffic flooding).

Max.

      What a shocker :-(
      I don't know what's going to happen to his Singapore venture now - it was a nice restaurant, situated right next to Guy Savoy's and 2 doors away from Tetsuya Wakuda's Waku Ghin.

      I was at Can Fabes a few years & simply loved his cooking. Still have his cookbook with his personalized message & signature. Sad :-(

      Most reports are saying that, while the exact cause of death is still unknown, it was likely a heart attack and not related to air travel.
