TODAY in the paper:

*Iñigo Peña of temporarily-defunct Narru has been named as a top-ten best young chef in Europe. Wall Street Journal bestowed this honor upon him, and while it seems to have been reached via a somewhat incestuous route, I can't say I argue.

*There's no point in resisting a well-deserved pat on the back, and here in Donosti we don't even bother trying. An article today touts the amazing food, oddly high rate of successful chefs, and the fact that the new Michelin Guide will be debuting here this week.

Just another week in Donostia.
