Review of El Bulli: Cooking in Progress (2011) by Dakotah G — 27 Mar 2012
A fascinating look into El Bulli, the mecca for those who follow the restaurant and culinary world. I gave it 5 stars because I was happy to watch a movie about El Bulli regardless of how they shot the film.
But I would have liked a bit more insight into how they pull of 30+ courses in a night of service and some scenes of the dining room and guests, including guests reaction to the food. But towards the end the focus on Chef Adria eating his own food during service was priceless and the culmination of the end featuring the menu in beautiful photography was perfect.
It was after all a celebration of the food, the chefs and how they pull it off! I hope to one day enjoy a meal like this whether it be at Chef Adria's next venture or Next in Chicago where Grant Achatz is working his magic.
I also highly recommend the book The Sorcerer's Apprentice's for more insight into El Bulli.
