Fray Marcos, is a priest, journalist, presenter and voiceover, who hopes to merge cooking and preaching with a project he calls “preaching” on YouTube and on social networks.
The Dominican friar, who sees cooking and faith as absolutely compatible, was evaluated by the three judges; Jordi gave him a no, even though he didn’t dislike the dish, because he doesn’t like the idea that he doesn’t want to open a pure and simple restaurant. After him, Samantha gave her first yes, the responsibility fell on Pepe: “I have the Church in my hands,” she joked. Finally, the chef opted for the affirmative vote and Fray Marcos received the white apron, who dedicated it “to God and the Blessed Virgin, who are my companions.”
Before beginning the final test, Fray Marcos said that he comes from Venezuela, where he helps the Venezuelan Dominicans who have nursing homes, orphanages; and he blessed the set and those present.
“May Almighty God bless this stage, the participants and the team behind the scenes with joy and in love with this. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
