| El Bulli, at Roses, Costa Brava |
SPAIN The country's best known chef, the leader of international recognition for Spanish cooking that has lasted for years, the man who made El Bulli Restaurant into an A-list eatery with, at one point, a waiting list of eighteen months, the teacher who taught most of the top ten chef's of today, the head of an unrivaled international business empire - Ferrán Adrià, is being sued by the heirs of the man who financed the beginnings of this extraordinary enterprise that has made Adrià a guru among gourmets. He and partner Juli Soler are facing charges that he 'took advantage' of Miquel Horta (the financier) when they bought his shares in El Bulli at a 'laughable price'.>>>
