(Euskara) Ostalaritza ikastea erabaki zuenean, zera erantzun zion amak Juan Mariri: egin zezala etorkizun handiagoko karrera bat. Harrez gero joan diren hirurogehi urte hauetan, gastronomiak sekulako prestigioa hartu du gizartean. Juan Mari bilakaera horren parte garrantzitsua izan da. Eta Arzak, Donostiako Mirakruz gainean kokatutako familiarteko jatetxea, munduko jatetxerik onenetakoa da azken urte hauetan. Belaunaldi berri baten txanda da orain. Elena Arzakek, Juan Mariren alabak, hartu du aitaren testigua. Erretiratzeko momentua iritsi zaio Juan Mariri, bere ibilbideari errepasoa emateko unea.
