Giacomo Bocchio’s love and discipline towards cooking led him to form part of the jury of the program ‘The Great Chef: Celebrities’, in which he is in his third season. For this reason, fans of the cooking reality show are very curious about the private life of the Peruvian chef, about whom little is known. However, the culinary expert gave an interview where he was able to reveal at what age he opened his first restaurant and other details.
WHY WAS GIACOMO BOCCHIO’S FIRST RESTAURANT NOT SUCCESSFUL?
Recently, Giacomo Bocchio was one of the guests of Cristian Rivero’s program that is broadcast on YouTube, and with whom he talked about many moments of his professional life prior to being the famous jury of the successful culinary reality show ‘The Great Chef: Celebrities’.
In this way, the chef did not hesitate to say that at the age of 26 he opened his first venture in the field of gastronomy. “At that age I opened my first store in Lima. It was called Manifesto, I had it for almost five years. They nominated me for best restaurant, but I was a lousy businessman,” Bocchio said at the beginning.
So, he revealed the mistakes he made in his restaurant, which led to its closure after a while. Given this, the Tacneño chef pointed out that he did not take into account the rent he paid for the establishment and the number of tables for that small place, which caused him not to generate a return on investment, that is, sufficient profits. “It wasn’t a company as such,” he maintained.
“That space helped me as a springboard to make myself known because I didn’t have any staff in Lima, I didn’t know anyone. I just opened the restaurant one day. I didn’t even poll. I said: ‘I’ve already worked in Michelin Stars, I feel prepared to run a kitchen.’ Look what the youth do. I was wrong,” Bocchio mentioned to Rivero.
WHAT DOES GIACOMO BOCCIO REFLECT ON HIS FIRST RESTAURANT?
Giacomo Bocchio, the judge of ‘The great celebrity chef, reflected in a conversation with Cristian Rivero about his decision to open his first place during his youth, which did not bring him very good things.
“What I should have done was work for other chefs first, understand the Peruvian market, and then open my own business. Today I see it like this, I am 38 years old and I look back, but I don’t regret it at all”, pointed out the successful Peruvian chef.
