Why Colombian chef Jorge Rausch’s restaurant, Criterion, is one of Latin America’s best

In the middle of the conversation, Jorge Rausch showed his more human side when he answered the question, “Do you regret anything?” Without hesitation, the gastronomic leader said his busy work cost him his relationship with his ex-wife and mother of his daughters, Orit Feldman.

In this sense, the expert said: “I regret working so hard, because the family is neglected. That may have cost me my marriage and a lot of time with my daughters, and the recovery wasn’t easy. Finding that balance is very difficult, everyone has their own and it is never perfect. If I could do it again, I would have spent more time with the family,” he confessed to the cameras of the Colombian television channel.
