I’ve had the pleasure of eating at a few of your establishments, as I live in the DC area. And knowing that you do so much to bring food and sustenance to those in need the world over, makes me feel like I’m helping a little bit. Thank you. You’re an outstanding humanitarian and chef.

When we passed by DC over a year ago we spent an evening at barmini, the bar they briefly mentioned in the video. We really recommend it. The cocktails are excellent, with a similar level of creativity and theatrical touch as you see in the video on minibar. And it's cheaper and easier to book! It's very interesting how some of the elements of elBulli's philosophy has been imported and changed to adapt to the American contemporary scene.

Incredibly unique techniques, in a unique setting, for a unique experience.

It just amazes me how labour intensive the restaurant industry is. You have such dedication to detail. It's too bad that so much food is not used, just so a particular appearance can be achieved. Yeah, I know the cliche "you eat with your eyes first", but I think that less food waste should be the focus rather than the appearance of the food. Sorry, it's just that starting with a half pound of tofu only to end up with a small ring around an egg yolk just kind of got to me. I don't know what the solution is.

I don't get why they marinate this huge piece of tofu, when they are throwing away more than 50 % afterwards. They cut away so much from the outside that they could fit 2 pieces of their endresult into one starting piece. I could live with throwing away the middle, for the eggyolk, but it makes no sense to cut away so much from the outside. Besides wouldn't the marinate get better into the tofu when they would marinate it already cut into form instead of using a huge piece the marinate has to seep through ?
