November 7th 2010 - Second and last visit to El Bulli.
What has not been said or written already about El Bulli? In my view, and despite the unfair let down of molecular cuisine from journalists who had previously pinnacled it, this place offered one of the most extraordinary food experience one can have.
For the closing season, it looks as if we were given the best of all techniques previously explored (liquid nitrogen, spherification, witful mimetism, etc.). Only this time, the menu was enhanced with luxury ingredients which I thought Ferran Adrià had moved away from: caviar, Alba truffle, etc.
When does it reopen?
In the meanwhile, let's comfort ourselves with http://www.bullipedia.com/
