"Even included a dish from my grandma" - Jon Rahm on the menu of his Masters Dinner 2024
Jon Rahm has been working to ensure that the guests at his Champions Dinner are served the finest dishes. The former World No.1 has hired renowned chef Jose Andres to prepare dinner.
In an interview last month, the Spanish golfer disclosed details about the dinner menu. He revealed that they had settled on the "Spanish Basque Country Bilbao" menu for the occasion, which even includes a dish from his grandmother. Additionally, he confessed that the Chef had reached out to Rahm's grandmother "for the recipe."
Speaking about his Champions Dinner, Rahm stated (via Golf Week):
“With the help of José Andres, the chef who I feel like needs no introduction for a lot of people, we made what would be a northern Spanish Basque country Bilbao menu and basically put in all of my favorites and even included a dish from my grandma. He called my grandma for the recipe. If somebody doesn’t like it, please just don’t tell me. Don’t tell anyone actually. It means a little bit too much to me to hear it.”
Golfers will tee off for the Masters 2024 on Thursday, April 11. This year, 89 players have qualified for the Major, including 13 LIV Golf players. The event is set to conclude on Sunday, April 14.
