In The Daily Meal Kitchen With Jose Andres

The Bagel and Lox Cone

To start, Andrés serves a tray of his bagel and lox cone with dill cream cheese and salmon roe. 

The Beet Gazpacho

Don't be fooled by this macaron — this is the chef's beet gazpacho with goat cheese and pistachio. 

Greek Pizza

The chef's Greek pizza —  with taramasalata, fennel, avogataraho, and micro basil — was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. 

The Chef Discusses His Biggest Influences

"I think all of us are the sum of who we have known in life, and I am what I am in part because I met this guy, Ferran Adrià." 

Philly Cheese Steak

The team gets ready to serve Andrés' Philly cheese steak — cheese espuma, Kobe beef, caramelized onion, and truffle. 

The Pomegranate Margarita

The chef's pomegranate margarita topped with sea foam was inspired by a dislike for salt on the rim. Without any salt, however, the chef found that a margarita was like "going on a date with yourself."
