Ferran Adria’s Tickets Tapas Bar
I guess if I was infinitely cooler and far more worldly, I'd have been able to resist the aching temptation to make the opening picture one of myself with Senor Adria. Alas, despite attempts at nonchalance, I'm not. I had the incredible (and unexpected) opportunity of meeting Ferran Adria just over a month to date, at his wildly acclaimed tapas bar Tickets, in the theatre district of Barcelona. What is Molecular Gastronomy and why the angst?
A girl, a boy, a box and two thickening waistlines
When I considered the topic for the current Cold Coffee Club project " Would you let your waistline determine where you live", I thought I had firm ideas of how I'd answer the question. But, as this piece of tourron still lingers in my mouth, the feeling I get tells me that I do allow my waist (my mouth, my senses, my greed and desire) to determine what I value as pleasure. There are culinary destinations (Spain, Italy, France, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey) far more glamourous, far more enticing to many than Cape Town. To us, Cape Town with all her flaws and third world problems is culinary mecca.
