After traveling and working abroad for seven years, he returned to San Sebastian, where he continued working in different restaurants until he became a partner and co-owner of Don Vito Cafe/Restaurant, an 80-seat popular spot in the heart of San Sebastian´s old town.
Ben soon began teaching at San Sebastian Food Company a cooking school for tourists in San Sebastian. He quickly became head chef/head teacher and discovered a new passion for meeting new people from all over the world and teaching them about Spanish food.
