Restaurant Business
Mayan might
June 15, 2000 by Nancy Kruse
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS to measure the success of a restaurant. Revenues and traffic counts are good indicators; favorable reviews may be another. For Alberto Lizaola, a strong gauge of his achievement has been the steady expansion of his operation. Originally occupying a single storefront, he's taken over four neighboring stores, and, in the process, doubled the size of his kitchen.
Lizaola operates Yaxche in the Mexican resort town of Playa del Carmen. Located amid burgeoning cybercafes and coffee bars that cater to a largely European clientele, Yaxche is a Mayan concept that has one foot rooted firmly in the past and the other pointed squarely toward the future. It's clearly forwardlooking, with its engaging, nicely designed web site (www.mayacuisine.com), but the past is very much present in the name (pronounced yosh-CHAY, a native tree that figures prominently in Mayan mythology) and in the use of authentic Mayan flavors. Above all, it's the menu that seduces, with its savvy accommodation of both traditional influences and contemporary tastes.

MAT FRA MAYAENES TEMPEL
TEKST OG FOTO: HELEN KIERULF SVANE
- I Mexico er mat kultur, men det resten av verden kjenner som meksikansk mat, har lite med vår matkultur å gjñre, sier restauranteier Alberto Lizaola i Mexico. Han driver en av verdens sv rt få mayarestauranter, Yaxche.
ç Vi lever i en tid der stadig flere fñler et sterkt behov for å bli kjent med fortiden, samtidig vet vi sjelden opphavet til all den ferdigproduserte maten vi stapper i oss. Mexico har et uvanlig rikt kjñkken. Men dessverre er mye av den maten som utlendinger tror er meksikansk, i virkeligheten amerikaniserte tilpasninger som har bidratt til at mange lokale mattradisjoner st¬r i fare for å gå tapt, sier Lizaola.

scomparse dei Maya
Il nome lo hanno scelto con cura. Yaxche in lingua maya vuol dire <<albero sacro>>. E in un frammento della famosa "bibbia maya" precolombiana Popol Vuh, che raccoglie storie e leggende degli indios Quiche del Guatemala...
