Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
New York City chef/author Anthony Bourdain is invited to film the research laboratory of Ferran Adria, the most controversial and imitated chef in the world—chef/owner of El Bulli, voted 'World's Best' by Restaurant Magazine and the most visited by chefs on sabbatical. The lab, an ultra modern, Dr. No-like facility with sliding walls, backlit ingredients, latest equipment and a full staff of devotees is tucked away inside a vast, renaissance-era palace in the old section of Barcelona, Spain. Adria and his chefs close the El Bulli restaurant for six months out of ever year to work on new concepts. Bourdain tracks Ferran's process from lab to a once-in-a-lifetime meal at El Bulli restaurant, enjoying a high-concept, surrealist, haute cuisine meal of unparalleled creativity and striking visual appearance.

I worked at El Bulli and remember Bourdin being there, filming with his crew. Watching this brought to light so many things I didn't even see--and I was there! It's a thoughtful, wonderful video if you're interested in El Bulli, the taller, and insight into the mind of the genious of Ferran Adria. A must have for molecular gastronomists.

Decoding Ferran Adria: Hosted by Anthony Bourdain

I was able to get a reservation to el Bulli in July and I had to get this DVD since it was the story I saw on Anthony Bourdain's show that became the catalyst for me to get this reservation. I had to wait 1 and 1/2 years for this reservation and am looking forward to this trip.

This DVD helped to satisfy my curiosity about the "best restaurant in the world", at least according to a recent survey. If you are interested in
molecular gastronomy, Chef Adria is the Mr. Wizard of food science, and
he and his crew seem to love their work in the state-of-the-art laboratory where they spend half of each year experimenting with new concepts. Anthony Bourdain is the perfect host to take us through the three-hour dinner that shows off the results of their research. The beginning is a little slow, but
there is nothing quite like this restaurant, and this was a great way to
see what all the fuss is about.

Anthony Bourdain is engaging as always as he looks into the goings-on at el bulli, the restaurant-cum-laboratory where Ferran Adria, the chef-cum-mad-scientist concocts the bizarre creations that the food world is swooning over. You'll learn a little bit about the processes and productions of "molecular gastronomy," but the coverage is not in depth. Still, a good introduction to the chef and the food, and definitely worth watching if you're curious about this curious cuisine.
