40 years in 7 hours
Forty years of an incredible culinary adventure resumed in a mere seven hours! That is what exactly happened in early February in Copenhagen. For the lucky few that had a chance to attend, a very special dining experience titled SINERGIA took place just for three consequent days on Feb. 2-4th. At his holistic cuisine restaurant Alchemist, Danish chef Rasmus Munk hosted his idols, the Spanish groundbreaking chef brothers Albert and Ferran Adrià, staging an unforgettable meeting pushing the boundaries of creativity. Repeated for three days only, the gastronomic experience recreated a selection of iconic dishes from the past of menus of both Alchemist and Albert Adrià’s Enigma, as well as a selection of historical dishes from different periods of the legendary El Bulli’s 25-year history. Due to the high demand, a ticket lottery was organized, on condition that the participant paid the ticket price of 1500 euros. The dinner was divided into scenes, like an hours-long ancient Greek tragedy, with a prologue, five acts and a closing epilogue. During the seven-hour-long performance, 40 plus courses were served, each with a story to tell, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first opening of El Bulli.
