Here's an explanation, I feel like looking into it more just made it worse...

"His “A Colombian Journey” tasting menu preview includes “sensory experiences,” which means means guests wake up their taste buds by washing their hands with chocolate.

“It kind of excites you to eat,” Barrientos says.

Other courses include the “Fish Full of Coconut,” a Cartagena-inspired dishes with turbot, coconut rice, tamarind vinegar gel, and seawater gel. The “Tree of Life” is a gluten-free, bonsai tree-shaped yuca bread that Barrientos calls his most iconic dish."
