We arrived in León about mid morning ready to spend an entire day at Bodega El Capricho, learning about the world’s best beef. Jose Gordon first brought us around the farm, taking us to a variety of places where he raises a number of different breeds of oxen. They were no doubt the biggest cattle I’ve ever seen, giant and healthy, so beautiful – so gentle and yet so powerful. One ox he showed us was over 1600 kilos, literally the size of a rhinoceros.
Next it was the tour of the processing facility where the meat is packaged and shipped. Seeing the best quality beef in the world all in one facility was amazing. What was also a highlight was tasting cecina, Jose’s signature beef which is salted and preserved in a cave for 4 years. The flavor was so intense and so delicious I almost couldn’t believe it.
Finally we headed back to the restaurant for the full beef meal which was the full tasting menu. We started off slow and steady and progressed our way to the main event, the giant t-bone ox steak, aged for 180 days and grilled to absolute perfection. The meat was unlike any other steak I’ve ever had, the most intense beefy cheesy flavor I’ve ever had. Truly as Keven mentioned, every other steak will be flavorless after this one. Eating steak in a cave is one of the most memorable food experiences and Spanish food experiences I’ve ever had.
What I loved about Jose Gordon is that throughout the process he truly treats his cows and oxen with respect. There’s no doubt you will find some of the best meat on earth at Bodega El Capricho.

When Mark leans back after tasting something and saying, “oh wow”.. you knows it’s a really special bite. Amazing video and always a treat to see Jeffrey too.
I am still surprised Mark isnt recognized all around the world.. wherever he goes! I mean yeah a couple here and there… il be starstruck if I saw him!
How much does this experience cost? Just wondering
In Spain you only eat good stuff if you have money, the basic spanish food is not elaborate at all.
love when you do videos with jeffrey
The chef looks a lot like his grandfather, and his father and great grandfather look alike to
Mark, I have been watching your wonderful videos for some time and have loved all of your journeys and food experiences. This is the first one that made me cry for joy. Jose Gordon ( I hope I have spelled his name correctly) is the MOST incredible biography of a man, of his family and himself on the oxen, cattle and caves of their lives and importance to their community…and indeed the world. I bet YOU are the ONLY one he has ever let witness and see all he and his farm and restaurant is about. His love for his cattle, his love of his restaurant and clients is par excellence. Very moving. There can be no other experience like this. I am saving this video and sharing it with the caption: "Where one MUST go before one dies". I am near retirement now and this is the fairy tale I want to experience above all others. Thank You, Mark. You have outdone yourself. MUCHAS GRACIAS.
Try Japanese wagyu A5
Nope hard pass.
This is what u call un ultimate respected.. After killing and eating it.. Shame on u.. I ove ur channel, i respected u.. But ur….
I need to count the “oh wow”s, and play the Bob Newhart game to Mark’s videos. A new pastime!
33:40 That is the greasiest fattiest piece of steak I've ever seen. lol
Waow, how many food orgasm did he have😄😄😄 joke aside, it looks amazing
NIce video, thank you 🙂
so much meat
seems nothing you ever taste is bad . Is that possible ?
I'm pretty sure Sonny is salivating while watching this video. Sonny is yet to do a vlog here. Come on Sonny, come to Spain. This is a mouth watering vlog Mark! I'm so envious I want to slap your face! Love it Mark!
Amazing
$180 per person is far less than I expected.
SOOO AWESOME 👌 I'M GOING
How much did it cost you " Per person"?
Why is this not on TripAdvisor?
My favorite video so far. Didn't think anything could beat jamaica but Spain has it
A quite inspiring video. Food (namely meat) given the respect it deserves. Wonderful viewing.
there really cheap on the portions
I understand the sentiment… but the best beef? What’s about Japanese police wagyu? And what’s about Dario Cechini. And so many others.
What is the best? Difficult to say. I just believe that it is amazing and a once a lifetime experience. But careful with superlatives…
I have never been more jealous of another man than this dude, he gets to eat the best foods in the world.
Cheers Mark great upload
gluttony…. a sin
Very expensive experience, Mark!
Made me so Hungry what a Great Place and Great Video Mark,Keep up the good work,Love from the UK 👍
Nothing special about this restaurant and it's food. Actually I found it disgusting when I saw all that blood of the meat. Yuk. Sorry Mark but it's the worst video and food that you have made
This was amazing it so interesting that Jose knows how to treat the animal to get the results of the beautiful beef products that he serves . What an experience thank you once again Mark for a mouth water journey as always God Bless and travel safe.
wow..so beautiful places
What a journey buddy.greateast of your experiences I must say as it shown on your face.
180EU is a bargain for a meal of that quality. Sirely that doesn't include the wine, right? I was expecting $400+.
My aunt and uncle used to go to Spain every year to visit my relatives and the one time they asked me to go I couldn't go because of important obligations
You guys please stay safe in your travels
Chewy steak…the best in my opinion.
Oke i'm starting my car..on my way to spain
How's you kiddo and wife? Hope they are happy without you- just wondering …. Enjoy your food trips!
Mark! Brother, I think your in heaven! And I'm only 3 minutes in.
There is a king of beef in Singapore as well (most likely unrelated), at least there was when I went there 10 years ago or so.
Imagine creating a bread between these cows and kobe cows
wow
