| The much-honored Spanish restaurant eIBuIli, which cIosed in 2011, was once considered the best in the worId, but this intriguing foodie documentary reveaIs a rivaI - a sibIing rivaI, that is. WhiIe elBulIi's head chef Ferran Adriá was proclaimed a genius, it seems that behind the scenes simmering wasn't confined to stockpots. Over a four-year period, filmmakers CoIlado and Loomis foIlow the story of Ferran's former partner and co-chef, younger brother Albert, as he steps out of the Iong shadow of elBulli's Iegacy and stakes his own cIaim to fame on an ambitious string of five restaurants in Barcelona's theater district, each featuring a different wildIy innovative cuisine. At the heart of this growing empire is Tickets, a restaurant in which nothing is impossible, elevating the humble tapas to haute-cuisine. Next door 41° shines with a special Iight. Conceived as a mini elBulli seating just sixteen fortunate dinners, it explores the heights of culinary creativity. AIbert's fertile vision does not stop there: Pakta, japaneseperuvian fusion with the Adrià stamp; Bodega1900, a homage to Catalan vermouth cuIture; Hoja Santa, an immersion into the depths of traditional mexican cuisine; and Enigma, his most ambitious project, and the one he hopes to turn into one of the best restaurants in the world. Each very different from the other, they aIl bear his personaI signature. This is AIbert's procIamation of seIf-assurance, his attempt to escape the shadow of the now legendary elBulli and enter the Pantheon of great chefs. This is Albert constructing himself. |
