It was voted best restaurant in the world three years in a row by Restaurant Magazine. However, to put that victory into perspective, prior to this winning, El Bulli won like two or three years in a row, so they won because the magazine clearly loves pretentious wank.

>> No.3863668

The high menu prices. Is that because they use more expensive ingredients? Or are you basically paying for the pirivilege of eating there. I'd be interesting to know what the profit in these places is like compared to somewhere else.

Looking at the website, a 12 course menu costs about 260$.

Don't really see what you guys are crying about. Sour grapes?

Is it any worse than the "$5000 burger"?

To be fair, it comes with a complementary rare bottle of wine, which, I shit you not, itself retails for about five grand.

Some people just have money to burn on frivolous shit.

Note: The burger was made with foie gras and truffles. Hardly worth 5 grand by itself.

It's like the easiest thing to cook short of salad or cereal.

Though to be honest, that egg looks tasty as fuck.

Because there is no food so rare as to be actually worth +$1000 for a single serving. Nothing legal anyway. I can see it now, super expensive illegal food for only the most hedonistic and super wealthy.

You're thinking in terms of scarcity and exclusiveness. That sort of mindset is exactly why this nigger is picking his ingredients from the bush behind the restaurant. You see, good, interesting, creative, beautiful things sometimes don't have to be made from Congolese blood diamonds smuggled out of the country in the corpses of starved babies and then cut with the condensed misery of starving Chinese child laborers.

Seriously, the 5 grand burger is trashy, gaudy, cynical pornography banking on rich people ordering them "ironically". Modern Scandinavian cuisine is mostly what you can find within a walking distance from your home, as long as you're perceptive enough to look and open to experimentation. That's a large part of what people pay these guys for, for bringing them things they wouldn't be able to discover on their own.
