Roberto Cortez

After years as a chef in celebrity circles, Cortez, who has cooked for Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, and Lady Gaga, worked intensively with pastry, including working with Albert Adrià, the brother and partner of molecular star Ferràn Adrià. Under this influence, he launched his experimental dining concept CR8: In no fixed location, but as pop-up events in various American cities, Cortez serves a small circle of guests a highly creative dinner, often influenced by visual art or design trends - always on porcelain from Hering Berlin. "I am thrilled every time I work with these wonderful plates by Stefanie Hering," says Roberto Cortez.
