"Ferran Adrià’s El Bulli pioneered modernist and molecular gastronomy, profoundly influencing contemporary culinary practice and training a generation of leading chefs (including José Andrés and René Redzepi). The original restaurant closed in 2011 and was transformed into a foundation, research lab, and museum project known as El Bulli 1846, preserving its legacy of experimentation." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
