The renowned Argentine pâtissier chef, Osvaldo Gross, caused controversy by expressing his strong contempt for chocotorta, one of the most iconic and beloved desserts in Argentina.
In the past, more precisely in a 2016 note for La Nación, Gross had already described the chocotorta as “the cake of lazy women.” Now, the pastry chef questioned his inclusion in the ranking of the best cakes in America prepared by the Taste Atlas.
The Taste Atlas describes itself as a global food guide highlighting traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants. In his ranking of the best tortas in America, the chocotorta was in the top 10. Osvaldo Gross, known for his expertise in the kitchen and his culinary programs on television channels, did not hesitate to express his strong opinion regarding this dessert. .
In spicy therapythe YouTube show where celebrities are interviewed as they try hot sauces that increase in spiciness, Gross was emphatic in stating that chocotorta should not be in the ranking because it should not be considered a cake at all.
The chef stressed that this favorite Argentinean sweet does not meet the essential characteristics to be classified as a cake. “It’s an assembly,” he stressed, adding that the preparation of the chocotorta consists of placing cookies and three basic ingredients, which, according to him, does not constitute a true cake.
Osvaldo’s criticism was not limited only to the chocotorta itself, but was also directed at the electoral authorities of the Taste Atlas. According to the chef, those who prepared the ranking are “useless” who lack knowledge regarding true gastronomy and good food.
“People have worse palates every time,” he said, and the cycle driver asked him, “Don’t you like chocotorta, Osvaldo?” “No, I hate her,” he replied, with conviction. “That ranking is made by useless people who don’t know anything. They have never eaten well, ”he declared, although he later admitted that the dessert tastes pleasant.
As expected, Osvaldo’s comment caused a stir on social networks. There were those who supported his porture, but there were also those who defended the dessert to death. On Twitter, where the video went viral, many people pointed out that the chocotorta is richer than many other cakes that require more preparation.
