Anthony Bourdain ate at El Bulli and shared his thoughts:
I just had the greatest meal of my life there, aware all the time that there would never be another. El Bulli closes its doors as a restaurant forever on July 31st of this year. And becomes…something else. What exactly that might be is something you will see, explicitly, and have explained by the principals, on the frankly incredible show we just made there. You will see what has made it the extraordinary institution it is, how they make each dish, who makes each dish—and to some extent—why. For reasons I will never fully understand—but will forever be grateful for—Ferran Adria gave us, again, once-in-a-lifetime access to every aspect of El Bulli. Along with my friend, the great chef—and one-time cook at El Bulli , Jose Andres, I was allowed to eat in the kitchen with Ferran for what he, himself, called the single best service in the restaurant’s history. Everything, even by his standards, was perfect and never better.
Full El Bulli episode coming up. Oh, yeah, spoiler alert but here’s the end of his post:
It will be the show of a lifetime. This, I can promise you.
Can’t wait.
