8000 seats out of half a million 800 000 requests, completely filled four days after I wrote :) My reservation request read like an application essay; I was in half a mind to attach a CV. They started taking reservations from the 15th of October this year for the 2008 season in April-September (they close in the other months to experiment in their famous lab). It’s been my dream to go for a while now and I cannot begin to describe how ecstatic the four of us are to get a place on our first try.
Is that a long way to go for dinner? No — even the Arctic isn’t too far to go for El Bulli! The only thing that can make it more awesome than it already is: a meal each at Rafa’s and at Etxebarri.
All that’s left to do: have my places confirmed at Columbia and the NY office of a certain huge news agency I’m in talks with… (maybe dinner at the French Laundry AND Per Se.. but one three star at a time!).. and…
2008 is going to be the best year. Ever. I can feel it in every bone. Then figure out how I’m going to get to Spain for dinner over 30 courses and 6 hours, from wherever I’m going to be — the taste of happiness.
