Albert Raurich is one of the most inspired Catalan chefs. He was Ferran Adrià sous-chef at
elBulli for 11 years. For the 10th anniversary of his Michelin-starred restaurant Dos Palillos,
he decided to create a series of 12 special gastronomic events and to invite friends each
month to help him create a meal at his restaurant. Throughout the year, some of the biggest
names in the world of gastronomy helped him prepare special menus. The menu was so rich
in new ideas that it took Albert Raurich and his kitchen brigade several months to develop.
The result was a memorable four-hour, 24-course meal. Each course was named in honour
of the year representing one of Chartier’s landmark discoveries; the meal was a tribute to
François Chartier’s prolific career and to his collaboration with the great elBulli family.
