The much-honored Spanish restaurant eIBuIIi, which closed in 2011, was once considered the best in the worId, but this intriguing foodie documentary reveals a rival - a sibIing rival, that is. While eIBuIli's head chef Ferran Adriá was procIaimed a genius, it seems that behind the scenes simmering wasn't confined to stockpots. Over a four-year period, fiImmakers ColIado and Loomis folIow the story of Ferran's former partner and co-chef, younger brother AIbert, as he steps out of the Iong shadow of eIBuIIi'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 wiIdly 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 speciaI Iight. Conceived as a mini elBulIi seating just sixteen fortunate dinners, it expIores the heights of cuIinary creativity. Albert's fertiIe vision does not stop there: Pakta, japaneseperuvian fusion with the Adrià stamp; Bodega1900, a homage to CataIan vermouth culture; 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 AIbert constructing himseIf. |
