ROSES, Spain (AP) — El Bulli, one of the world’s most acclaimed and award-winning eateries, is preparing to serve its last supper before closing.
For more than half of the 24 years that virtuoso chef Ferran Adria has been in charge of its kitchen, the restaurant has maintained the almost unattainable three Michelin star status and been rated the world’s best restaurant five times by British magazine The Restaurant.
After a final dinner for staff families on Saturday, Adria will begin work on turning the restaurant into a food foundation he hopes to open in 2014.
“People think I should be sad but I feel like the happiest man in the world,” Adria said. “El Bulli is not closing. It’s just transforming.”
