Wow, food is literally taking over the world. Remember that time when people wanted to go to ivy league schools like Princeton or Dartmouth to study law, politics, physics oh my? Well, now people are going to Harvard to study food. Ferran Adria, probably the worlds most esteemed Chef (El Bulli in Spain), and LA’s own, Jose Andres –currently of The Bazaar at SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills but once worked directly beneath Adria –are heading the east coast to teach a 13 week course on Culinary Physics (ie. Molecular gastronomy…[ie. The cool little foam formations and crystallized air that make dining at either of their restaurants a science experiment]) at Harvard.
This is just great, talk about the evolution of academia. Also, Hi-5 to the board of academics at Harvard for championing this, though I guess it’s a great way to bring a bit of personality to the musing and pondering that goes on within their cedar and brick covered walls. I wasn’t sure if the molecular stuff was here to stay, but it seems like it’s advocates are making quite the push.
I know Ferran closed his restaurant a few weeks back for like 2 years for some reason, but who’s going to man The Bazaar with Jose in Massachusetts and Marcel –the former sous at the Bazaar –over at the new Bar210/Plush?
