As Simon Marchmont might put it, if you haven’t heard of Ferran Adrià, you don’t deserve food.
But to prove that I don’t want you to go hungry, here’s a chance for you to get up to speed on the chef widely regarded as the world’s best. Observer food writer Jay Rayner was one of the lucky 8,000 — or is it 7,000? — able to score a reservation at Adrià’s legendary restaurant El Bulli, and he wrote about his experiences here.
For a more savory experience, though, I recommend you check out the video (clocks in at around 15 minutes). Strongly recommend it, actually.
One note: Adrià appears rather brusque and distracted during this interview, but I’m willing to chalk it up to the challenges of working with/through a translator. I know it was tough for me when Le Monde sent a media writer to interview me about the inspiration behind my latest press release.
