Martínez emphasized the significance of stepping outside routine. "Most of the time, when I go to speak to my chefs, it's hard to get away from the chaos of the restaurant...let's go to Valencia, and try some of these restaurants we've been hearing about." This statement underscores his belief in the value of culinary exploration for inspiration and collaboration.
During the trip, Martínez expressed excitement over tasting local dishes, particularly the authentic Valenciana paella. "You see paellas everywhere, but you've got to go to Valencia to try theirs. Paella Valenciana is made with things like rabbit and snails. The best we had was at Casa Carmela, and Lavoe." This insight highlights his appreciation for regional dishes and authentic culinary traditions.
