Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Getting a reservation at El Bulli, rated as the best restaurant in the world, can be very difficult. The restaurant not only has limited seating, but is open for only 6 months out of the year. Most diners have to plan at least 6-12 months in advance just to try to get a reservation - and once you have it, you're going at whatever time it's for.
Oh, you didn't know that Aunt Bessie was going to be ill when you made your resevation last July? You can't make it to dinner?
Just sell the reservation on eBay.
Evidently, one member of a party of four diners could not make the trip, so the remaining three are auctioning off the final seat at their table on eBay. The winner of the auction must find their own travel to Barcelona and accomodation while there, but they get to have dinner at El Bulli - which normally costs €170/$215, without wine - on June 17th at 8pm. Bids start at $1,000 and the auction ends on June 14th.
You can view a photo set of a recent meal at the restaurant here to get an idea of what you're in for.

For probably less than $1,000, you can bribe the chef of the restaurant to come to your home and cook up a meal while El Bulli is closed for the year.

For $1000 you can fly to Spain, and find a hostel to stay in, enjoy the sites, eat at El Bulli for the $200 that it costs per head and be way ahead of the game. The folk are greed-mongers. Look at what they do for a living. Disgusting! For $1000 can't I at least sleep on the floor of their hotel room? Geez! Disgusting!
