That's How It Happened

El Bulli must be the world's most oversubscribed restaurant. They have only 8000 seats available during the six months of the year they are open. (The other six months the chefs are in the lab experimenting). 300000 people try to get a seat each year, the result being that all seats sell out on January 1st when booking opens. I have tentatively submitted an enquiry, I guess if I do get a table I could scalp the tickets to other gastronomes.
