Apreciado Señor,

I am sorry to delay so much in putting me in contact with you. We are surpassed and without options to find a solution for the most of requests. We are moving the situation to solve the possible maximum of cases and we have found an option to please your petition.

With pleasure, I confirm your dinner reservation on month xxth of 2005 for 8 people at 7.30 – 8.00 p.m. under the name: ....

I ask you to confirm your visit a week before and also to give us a telephone number for direct contact.

NOTE: Ferran Adrià will prepare for you a personalized tasting menu. It is important to prepare it to know before if there is some important problem to take care of it, like allergies or products that we can not introduce in your menu.

Atentamente,
Luis García

Now I know in whose praise I shall be singing at thanksgiving table.

Watch this space come next Spring my dear readers. I'll make sure I get a meal at the Fat Duck in as well. Oh, yes, and Grant Achatz's new Alinea should be open by then. Wouldn't it make for an interesting blog? Can't you imagine the title? Well, I don't know, perhaps, Variations on a theme of Molecular Gastronomy: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?

This is going to be such fun. :-)

cheers,
Pim --traipsing happily back into the awaiting arms of frivolity
