“EL BULLI, named the best restaurant in the world for the past four years by Restaurant magazine, is to close during 2012 and 2013. The three-Michelin-starred eatery is only open for six months of the year anyway, apparently to allow the head chef, Ferran Adrià, time to experiment in the kitchen. He said earlier this week, though, that he would be taking some more time off: ‘With a format like the current one it is impossible to keep creating. In 2014, we will serve food somehow. I don’t know if it will be for one guest or 1,000.’”
El Bulli has two million people applying to be one of the 8,000 diners each year (about 45 per night). The Amateur Gourmet had a great photo and video comic-strip-style description of the epic experience of eating there last year.
