26-course menu for Matt Kantor’s El Bulli tribute dinner released

Now that Ferran Adrià has shuttered El Bulli, it seems that the dishes and techniques he pioneered at the World’s Greatest Restaurant are now fair game. Matt Kantor, the chef behind the Secret Pickle Supper Club pop-up venture, has just released the menu for the three-night-only El Bulli Imitació, which is either a tribute to the great master or an act of brazen recipe theft, depending on where you stand. Indeed, Kantor is part of a raft of Adrià appreciators—Chicago’s Grant Achatz will be serving nothing but El Bulli–inspired dishes at his culinary history exhibit restaurant, Next, in January. Kantor’s dinner—with dishes like frozen foie gras charcoal and Oreo black olive double cream—takes place next week at the Cookbook Store, and has unfortunately been sold out for some time.
