I went recently and still think about it at least once a week! It really was so creative and innovative, but you're right - everything tasted so yummy and I adored how they used distinct complementary aromas for nearly every dish. Smelling the food was almost as great as eating it.Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12967144927816039241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-24156855855466788332007-12-19T20:15:00.000-08:002007-12-19T20:15:00.000-08:00I can't believe I have never read this blog before. Amazing. <BR/><BR/>You, my friend, fucking rock. <BR/><BR/>I lived in San Sebastian, a long time ago. And I am headed back this summer with a detour to El Bulli. I just told my boyfriend how much I wanted to go there. <BR/><BR/>I know what to expect now. So thank you!<BR/><BR/>I need to find your book - so excited!mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10177727374092514537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-24293507400890670532007-11-04T23:20:00.000-08:002007-11-04T23:20:00.000-08:00Interesting...after my meal at WD-50, I too felt like shit...<BR/><BR/>Strange that Acahtz uses the same techniques/additives, and you come out of there feeling like a million bucks (or feeling like how much money you just spent....) Either way, great post.Richiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09941245006346350955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-49676379607362299042007-11-01T19:37:00.000-07:002007-11-01T19:37:00.000-07:00Wow. I don't think we'll ever make it to El Bulli, but it was totally fascinating reading about your experiences.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for finishing the story. Figured it was a now or never (meaning that babies have a tendency to put you on another track). Good luck on the 9th!Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-20842594982103324212007-11-01T11:01:00.000-07:002007-11-01T11:01:00.000-07:00Great.<BR/><BR/>Part IV comes and no men's room pics of John.<BR/><BR/><I>Phooey</I> on you!<BR/><BR/>(Or however you say that in Catalan...)Davidhttp://www.davidlebovitz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-19828452199094661242007-11-01T04:55:00.000-07:002007-11-01T04:55:00.000-07:00Great set of post and very enlightening for those of us who hope to make it to El Bulli during this lifetime...Travellerhttp://www.shantanughosh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-31704362888406432242007-10-31T07:01:00.000-07:002007-10-31T07:01:00.000-07:00H-<BR/><BR/>He's due the 9th.

It doesn't surprise me that you felt like crap the day after your meal. With all the salt and odd ingredients that your liver isn't used to - it's basically the same effect as a hangover. I hadn't checked in for a while so this was a fun read. Hope you guys and Diner No. 3 are doing well! You must be getting close!Alice Q.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13477466400681164056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584493.post-19735138727760028752007-10-30T22:23:00.000-07:002007-10-30T22:23:00.000-07:00"It was the experience of a lifetime."<BR/><BR/>Until about say, November 12th ?haddockhttp://knifesedge.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.com
