Ferran Adria

We've heard the rumblings before, but this time around, an Aussie newspaper has it from inside sources in Spain that Ferran Adria might actually shutter El Bulli: "In other news from foreign shores, Detective has learned from a San Francisco snout that next year Spanish molecular chef Ferran Adria is considering closing his revolutionary restaurant, El Bulli, just outside Barcelona. Detective's Spanish contacts confirm, after some legwork, that despite frequent similar rumours this time they may be true; Adria is seriously considering closing the restaurant 'for some time, perhaps one or two years from next year.' It seems the copyists have begun to wear him down and he wants to reconsider El Bulli's 'concepts and philosophy.'" [The Australian via Eater SF]
