I have been lucky enough to have met the world famous chef Ferran Adria of the late El Bulli, considered to have been the greatest restaurant of all time. Like most, I'm guessing, I had no idea that he had a younger brother Albert who was just as passionate about food and worked right alongside him.
I am also a huge fan of documentaries, particularly of the biographical sort. Well this one is a gem. It takes us behind-the-scenes for a pic into what it's really like to open a world class restaurant of the highest level. From the design, tableware and tailored uniforms of the servers to the development of an exquisite menu that provides a unique experience unlike anywhere else you will be fascinated to see all of the hard work and heartache that it takes. I don't know how anyone survives it, really.
So, if your looking for a very entertaining and eye-opening foodie type movie this is it. Now available on DVD and streaming: Constructing Albert.
