Message NobleSquirrel beers 3437 º places 209 º 15:48 Wed 10/12/2011 Originally posted by cquiroga I wish I lived in Chicago so I could spend all of my money at Alinea and Next instead of at LudoBites. The "new" El Bulli is going to be different from the restaurant they’ve been operating over the years, isn’t it? I mean, same place, but different business model and whatnot. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. Obviously, a lot could happen between now and then. . . Yeah, from what I know, it’s a whole new idea. Basically, diners at their mercy, serving when and what they feel like. Curious to say the least. Btw, the next Next menu is Childhood, which should be awesome.

Message OaklandBrewer beers 6 º 16:50 Wed 10/12/2011 Fun side note....My wife is a cook at a fancy restaurant here in the bay area. Ferran Adrià recently had dinner there. She asked the server if he was nice, and the server said(in french accent) " very nice but he ONLY drinks beer"..... Made my day.

I like this too ;) I like it as well but it is something to be expected as Noma focuses on local ingredients. And let’s face it : Danish beer >>>>> >>>>> ;>>>>&g t;>>>> >>>> Danish wine
