El Bulli Influence

[molto e]

Chef Andres,

Can you discuss the history of your background with Chef Ferran Adria and his team? Some of the cuisine at Minibar has nuances of the cuisine of "El Bulli". I think that I read that Chef Adria had wanted you to open the first El Bulli in the United States... is that true?

Thank You,

Thank you for your reply!

What position did you hold at El Bulli and for how long? When you say that MINIBAR is that restaurant in America, I take it you mean in style. Do you currently have a "formal relationship" with the "El Bulli" team?

Thank You,

Eliot
