Recently, many people have been posting on Threads looking for old friends or teachers they’ve lost touch with. The owner of a Spanish restaurant posted a list of his former mentors on Threads, hoping to get back in touch with the chefs who inspired him 20 years ago. With the help of others online, he tracked down and reconnected with one of his most cherished mentors. Thanks to the power of the internet, these two chefs were able to renew their student-teacher bond.

From pan-fried pork chops to barbequed chicken thighs, Rex is an expert chef. Next he adds homemade chorizo sauce, orange zest, a squeeze of lemon, and Spanish paprika.

- We first cook it slowly at a low temperature, then sear it over high heat, so you can see the Maillard reaction forming on the surface.

Rex started working in the restaurant industry at age 16, and now he runs his own Spanish restaurant. He’s always cherished the teachers and mentors who guided him along the way.

Rex
Restaurant owner
All the chefs at Chinese restaurants had really short tempers and spoke really loudly. For me at 16, it was kind of... I had to be really careful and meticulous every day. It was really scary, but they were willing to teach me a lot, which has made my Western cooking more solid than others, with more elements and ideas.

He hopes to get back in touch with his old mentors so he can cook for them and thank them. He put this hope out into the world, posting it on Threads.

Rex
Restaurant owner
There were lots of people willing to help, and one of my old mentors reached out to me. When he contacted me, I was really moved.

With the help of the online community, Rex was able to reconnect with his old mentor and share just how far he’s come. Although working in a restaurant was intense as a 16-year-old, he’s grateful for the teachers who gave him a chance.
