 http://www.patinagroup.com" rel="nofollow - www.patinagroup.com  Chef Joachim Splichal. German born Chef Joachim Spliach has been a Chef, Restaurateur and Author in Los Angeles, California since he opened his Patina Restaurant in 1989. Todate, Joachim is an investor in numerous restaurants. He had told me years ago, that Painters to some extent influence and inspire him, particularly Rauschenberg, because he placed all these varying elements into his prints and thus, reflects a little of Joachim´s dishes. He employs touches of Asia, Italian, Mexican and French and then, all of a sudden it tastes fabulous.
