As previously stated, technological progress scares me a little. Yet the spam filter on my letter box is doing a good job, shielding the unwanted information and burying it forever in the trash tin. Still every now and then I would receive a letter offering some lasting longer enlargement replicas, or - the best restaurant in the world. Of course with spam you cannot trust a thing they promise, only an indication of direction for those vaguely interested. Still it grabbed my attention - the best restaurant in the world - does it exist? So apparently it does. It is called El Bulli, all three Michelin stars, two hours north of Barcelona. A truly unbelievable story! They are open April to September only, and to get a reservation for April, you have to email them in October. It accommodates only 8,000 diners a season, with 800,000 people calling to try and book places - around 400 requests for every table. So you get the reservation first, and then you book your airfare! The kitchen team consists of 42 chefs. All of their crockery and cutlery is specially designed for their courses - which change daily. The menu is designed at the lab during the months when they are closed, behind the closed doors, incredibly confidential. The restaurant has no menu - you eat what you are given. There are 35 courses, divided into the following categories: cocktails, snacks, dry snacks, fresh snacks, tapas, dishes, predesserts, desserts, petit fours, and morths. It takes 6 hours to dine and you are allowed intermissions between the courses - to breathe and to digest. The meal costs about 150 Euros, and those who hope to get in would pay much more, as it is not a mere meal out - it is a culinary revolution. Although the rumour has it they operate at a significant loss, and they keep going only for the love of food. I imagine this is an absolutely different level of a culinary operation, and any dining experience. I am not too sure if I even want to go there, and whether I am capable of eating for six hours straight. However, it would be a different story - and a different wish-list, should I live in Europe at some stage. I am more interested to know whether they do a wine pairing, and how one does after 30 glasses of various wine, downed in 6 hours.
