last week in fact it was slow and I had to close so I made cannabutter in the microwave, powdered it with maltodextrin and sprinkled it over maple sugar-caramelized brioche. The best french toast ever!

Im not saying he isnt a brilliant and groundbreaking chef, I just think the episode would have been better served by getting to know him.  Instead of showing majestic landscapes and discussing him in some awestruck voiceover, why not have more discussions with him, or talk about how he became the chef he is today.  To me it was just simply a problem of perspective.

Also going to the Chefs Table at Brooklyn Fare on Friday the 19th apparently.  Eleven Madison park to Brooklyn Fare, should be a ridiculously decadent weekend.  Ive been saving up for a while for something like this

I see your point, there actually have been many books and videos done on the history of El Bulli and Ferran Adria, for a Bourdain show, I don't think they would have time to go into all that detail, people just want to see the food.

I agree though, Jose Andres did do a very quick once over on Ferran's introduction of El Bulli and how it came about, but he didn't go into the fact that before Adria El Bulli's chef was Jean Louis Neichel (who still runs a michelin starred restaurant in Bercelona) he was the first chef to garner El Bulli a michelin star, no doubt traditional French, once the chef changes you loose the star ratings and have to go back and resubmit. Also a lot of credit has to be given to Jacques Maximin who inspired Adria to think out of the box with the quote: "creativity means not copying"
