...next big project, which could well expand the intellectual and artistic boundaries of his culinary empire. But I think I've said too much. And before I knew it, the dinner was over and everyone was kissing each other farewell on both cheeks - before I had an opportunity to ask if Ferran could put in a word for me when I next e-mail for a reservation at elBulli...
...Maybe it's a mistake to ask who Bettie was.

I'd give anything to have sat down with a tiny - barely 5 feet tall - bridge-playing chain smoker who used the spittoon liberally and had a weakness for croissants. And I'd ask him: Did you have any idea what you were doing...
