<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://soussurvivor.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/euro-trip-218.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-171" src="http://soussurvivor.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/euro-trip-218.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I'm here! Its really beautiful, and the landscape explains why this city has so many restaurants.  As soon as I left the airport in San Sebastian, I was driving between community farm plots.  The rolling green hills and mild temperature make this place a miniature version of the San Joaquin Valley in California (where something around 1/5 of the world gets its food).  I haven't been able to snap any photos yet, but as soon as I get picked up by the people at Mugaritz and taken to my apartment, Ill try to post. I read an article in a Spanish newspaper today that discussed Ferran Adria's recent accolade of winning the best restaurant in the world for the third year in a row (Mugaritz was #4).  Some writer in Apicius magazine said that the new wave chefs should be dubbed "technoemotional" - that is to say that they create emotion through edibles.  Not sure I agree with the title, because Ive had meals that moved me emotionally that weren't served in a test tube, or on a spike. Thoughts?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thepleasanthouse.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/1458669580_32cf86e135.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13" src="http://thepleasanthouse.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/1458669580_32cf86e135.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="241" /></a></p>
<p>A textbook definition of inspiration will read something like: an arousal of the mind or the product of one's creativity.</p>
<p>A chef is creative, therefore, he or she must be inspired.</p>
<p>So what inspires a chef?</p>
<p>I myself am inspired by cultures, seasons, ingredients, places, and memories.</p>
<p>The dish above was created by a chef named Adoni Aduriz at a restaurant in Spain's Basque country called <a href="http://www.mugaritz.com">Mugaritz</a>.  It may look simple on the surface, but just like a beautiful painting this dish was created by an inspired artisan, and it has a complex story.</p>
<p>While the dish above was the product of one chef's inspiration, it also is an inspiration to me.  Some people wonder why I take so many pictures of food and plan my vacations around it, and that is why.</p>
<p>In fact, I think I can get more inspiration out of a lunch than many people get on a tour of the Louvre.  You do have to know where to look, but to be inspired you have to look beyond the surface.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Como reza el título, el restaurante <strong>el Bulli</strong> ha conseguido por 3º año consecutivo el primer puesto al mejor restaurante de todo el mundo, según la <a href="http://www.theworlds50best.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">lista San Pellegrino</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>"Es un sueño. No tengo palabras. <strong>Ha sido un triunfo total para la cocina española</strong>",</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>O brasileiro D.O.M., do chef Alex Atala, entrou pela terceira vez na lista dos 50 melhores restaurantes do mundo, prêmio organizado pela revista inglesa "Restaurant", com uma pequena queda na colocação-- desta vez, ocupa a 40ª posição (no ano passado estava em 38º).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Avisado do resultado pela Folha, Atala disse que foi "melhor do que imaginava". "É sempre um sonho subir, mas não aconteceu neste ano. O mais importante é estar na lista, estar entre os 50", disse.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>O resultado do S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants, que seria anunciado na segunda-feira (21) à noite, em Londres, é obtido por meio dos votos de um júri de quase 700 especialistas de todos os continentes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Atala afirmou que já esperava um resultado menos favorável, devido às mudanças no critério de votação. Neste ano, os jurados-- que votam em cinco estabelecimentos-- não foram obrigados a incluir, entre os cinco, ao menos dois de sua própria região. Isso tende a diminuir a importância de países de menor prestígio gastronômico, como o Brasil.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Pelo terceiro ano consecutivo, o El Bulli, do espanhol Ferran Adrià, foi considerado o melhor restaurante do mundo. Como em 2007, o segundo e terceiro lugares seguem com o inglês The Fat Duck, de Heston Blumenthal, e o francês Pierre Gagnaire, do chef homônimo, em Paris. Quem despontou foi o espanhol Mugaritz, de Andoni Aduriz, em quarto.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Com poucos novos restaurantes na lista, a premiação mostra consistência e uma fra­queza: a ausência dos grandes restaurantes japoneses e asiáticos entre os melhores, denotando que os especialistas do Ocidente conhecem pouco as casas da Ásia, ao contrário dos jurados asiáticos, que conhecem mais os restaurantes europeus, no quais também votam.</span></p>

<p>Acabo de leer un artículo muy interesante del no menos interesante blog <strong><a title="Sibaritissimo" href="http://www.sibaritissimo.com/" target="_blank">Sibaritissimo</a> </strong>acerca de <strong>los <a title="50 Mejores Restaurantes del Mundo" href="http://www.theworlds50best.com/2008_list.html" target="_blank">50 mejores restaurantes</a></strong> del mundo. El informe lo lleva a cabo la revista británica <strong><a title="Revista restaurant" href="http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/restaurants/" target="_blank">Restaurant</a></strong> y os recomiendo su lectura.</p>
<p>El reportaje incluye realmente cien restaurantes y es un orgullo pertenecer a un país que cuenta con el número 1 de la lista y con 11 restaurantes entre los 100 primeros. Os destaco el puesto y el nombre:<!--more--></p>
<p>1.- <a title="Restaurante El Bulli" href="http://www.elbulli.com/" target="_blank">El Bulli</a></p>

<p>100.- <a title="Restaurante Abac" href="http://www.restaurantabac.com/" target="_blank">Abac</a></p>
<p>Viendo los tres primeros, lo primero que he recordado es ese restaurante madrileño recién inaugurado situado en el hotel <strong><a title="Hospes" href="www.hospes.es/" target="_blank">Hospes</a> </strong>de la Plaza de la Independencia, <strong><a title="Restaurante Senzone" href="http://www.fuenso.com/index.php?seccio=senzone_introduccio&#38;establiment=10&#38;desti=10&#38;bar=24" target="_blank">Senzone</a></strong>. Todavía no he podido ir y no puedo hablar mucho de él pero os doy sólo un dato. Allí trabajan <strong>Paco Morales</strong> (<strong><a title="Restaurante El Bulli" href="http://www.elbulli.com/" target="_blank">El Bulli </a>y <a title="Restaurante Mugaritz" href="http://www.mugaritz.com/" target="_blank">Mugaritz</a></strong>) y <strong>Ruth Cotroneo</strong> como somelier (<strong><a title="Restaurante The Fat Duck" href="http://www.fatduck.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Fat Duck </a>y <a title="Restaurante El Chaflán" href="http://www.elchaflan.com/" target="_blank">El Chaflán</a></strong>). Realmente empieza a ser urgente su visita por lo que intentaré hacer la reserva con más tiempo del habitual (siempre que lo he intentado ha sido imposible).</p>
<p>Dos interesantes nuevas entradas de sitios españoles, el <a title="Asador Etxebarri" href="http://www.asadoretxebarri.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Asador Etxebarri</strong> </a>en Vizcaya y el <strong><a title="Restaurante Abac" href="http://www.restaurantabac.com/" target="_blank">Abac</a></strong> en Barcelona. No tengo referencias de ellos pero intentaremos darlas pronto.</p>
<p>Por supuesto, mis más sinceras felicitaciones a nuestro crack particular: <strong><a title="Ferran Adria" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferran_Adri%C3%A0" target="_blank">Ferrán Adriá</a></strong>. Lo más difícil que hay en esta vida no es "<em>llegar a ser</em> "sino "<em>mantenerse siendo</em>" y ahí lo tenemos de nuevo, en la cima del mundo</p>
