He became obsessed with Japanese food, won a contest, and traveled to learn secret techniques from the best fried chicken.
Camilo Sce, a Japanese food enthusiast from Argentina, won a contest that allowed him to travel to Japan and learn unique cooking techniques for fried chicken.
Camilo Sce's journey began long before his culinary success, as he was an anime fan and an aficionado of Asian cuisine during his teenage years. His passion for Japanese culture led him to create '10 Recetas Japonesas', a popular street food venture in Villa Crespo that mimics Japanese street stalls. His unique approach to food brought the flavors of Japan closer to Argentina, highlighting how food can bridge cultures.
The pandemic was a pivotal moment for Camilo, as he adapted by offering cooking kits that brought Japanese culinary experiences into home kitchens, demonstrating resilience and innovation during tough times. The turning point in his culinary career came when he won a quirky contest that allowed him to participate in a reality show in Japan. This opportunity not only connected him with Japanese culinary techniques but also elevated his status as a chef in Argentina.
With the support of his ex-partner, LucΓa Manasliski, who has a diverse academic background, Camilo created an engaging culinary project that blends culture and emotion through cooking. Together, they emphasize authenticity by teaching others what they have learned through their experiences. Their collaborative efforts not only celebrate Japanese cuisine but also promote cultural exchange, showcasing how food can serve as a powerful medium for connection.
