Mr. Boyce never passes up a chance to dine at the Mexican-and-Nordic-inspired Sanchez. “It’s authentic. It’s real Mexican food over in Europe — it’s delicious,” Mr. Boyce said. He recommends the carnitas taco with a cured egg yolk or the sea bass taco with fresh housemade tortillas. For dessert, the sweet potato tart is a must (the owner, Rosio Sánchez, was a pastry chef at Noma, one of Copenhagen’s most famous restaurants.) Because Ms. Sánchez is from Chicago, where “The Bear” is primarily filmed, the two forged a quick friendship during Mr. Boyce’s early visits. And that 2023 trip isn’t likely to be his last visit to Sanchez, or to Copenhagen. We may never see Marcus return to the place that changed his path as a pastry chef, but Mr. Boyce already has plans to come back.
