Dinner with famed Spanish chef Ferran Adria sells for $23,200 at Hong Kong auction
HONG KONG – A rare chance to dine with world-famous Spanish restaurateur Ferran Adria has been sold at auction for 180,000 Hong Kong dollars ($23,200).
Bidding started at HK$5,000 for the meal with Adria, often cited as the planet’s most talented and imaginative chef. His now-closed restaurant elBulli was rated the world’s best five times by British magazine The Restaurant.
An online bidder beat out four others at the Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
The winner gets the chance to dine with Adria and his brother in a restaurant in Barcelona and visit the premises of the elBulli restaurant, in Catalonia, Spain.
Another ticket to the dinner will be auctioned off April 26 in New York.
