I don’t know but something doesn’t add up? The food also sounds like crap. But then again sometimes I enjoy eating at the Waffle House, go figure.
It’s like abstract art. The food may taste as bad as the art looks but all the critics go gaga over it.
I appreciate fine food, well prepared from the best ingredients, but a lot of this type of stuff just seems like the height of pretentiousness. Of course, a lot of people would say the same thing about some of the stuff I like. Heck, some people think Big Macs and Kraft Mac and Cheese are the height of good eating.
What I don't understand is how a restaurant that was packed to overflowing every single night from the day he reopened it, and where a dinner for two cost at minimum 250 euros, could be losing money.
Most restaurants fail, but they fail because they cannot attract enough customers to cover the rent.
El Bulli had the perfect situation: three Michelin stars, no empty tables ever, and a clientele that did not care how much the tab was as long as they got a table.
Not only that, but talented chefs worked there at minimum wage just to have El Bulli on their resume.
Someone was robbing that place blind.
