MADRID: When the pandemic struck, top chef Ferran Adria was in the final phases of preparing to reopen his world-famous El Bulli restaurant nine years after it closed.
But for this Spanish master of molecular cuisine, the virus has caused “a lot of grief” for the sector, even if it has transformed many people’s relationship with their own kitchens at home, he told AFP.“It’s a brutal situation, a real tragedy,” he admitted, saying the crisis had silenced all other debates raging within the sector.
“With all the problems they’re talking about, are you likely to go to a restaurant and spend 100 euros? No,” Adria said. “By now, many people have entered the kitchen. And that is going to have a social impact, even more so with remote working.” For him, being forced to stay at home has given him space to work flat out on the August reopening, getting up “at 4:30 am every day and working until 9:00 pm”.
