Bdevikingo, known as Foodie on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, has taken a big step in his career by opening the Aupa restaurant in Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona. A Basque gastronomy restaurant with almost no dishes that are not of animal origin
The renowned gastronomic influencer Bdevikingo has recently caused controversy with a controversial statement. In an interview with a local media outlet, Bdevikingo stated that vegans will be welcome at his restaurant Aupa de él, located in Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona, despite not having any vegan option on the menu. This statement has generated a strong reaction on social networks, where many users have criticized Bdevikingo for not offering options for people with special diets and for not being inclusive. However, Bdevikingo has defended his position, arguing that Aupa is a traditional Basque restaurant and that its menu focuses on meat and fish."It is not intended to exclude anyone, but at Aupa it focuses on the Basque culinary tradition, which is based in high-quality products such as meat and fish," Bdevikingo explained in the interview. "There are no vegan options on the menu, beyond the famous candied peppers that are to die for or the peeled tomato and garlic salad." Bdevikingo also mentions "a vegan makes a respectable personal moral and ethical sacrifice but that complicates Basque tradition and gastronomy". Despite the controversy, some vegans have supported Bdevikingo's position, arguing that it is important that traditional restaurants adapt to the needs of a society that is increasingly aware of the importance of a healthy and animal-friendly diet. On the other hand, the opinion of experts in the field is that restaurants should adapt to the needs of an increasingly diverse society and conscious, and offer options for all diets, including vegans and vegetarians. In any case, Bdevikingo's position has generated intense debate on social networks and among gastronomy experts. Aupa has become the center of attention and many are waiting to see how the situation evolves in the coming months.
