Apparently Alonso is coming to my town to cook a meal in support of the Slow Food movement. Thoughts? The meal ain't cheap, though that's not my consideration in this post. Just wondering who knows about his food. Slow Food is a new concept on the border, and a known chef is as well.

Bruno Oteiza and Mikel Alonso, disciples of avant-garde Spanish chef Juan Mari Arzak, have divided their menu into two sections, traditional and "evolution." Both focus on Basque ingredients and techniques, used in varying degrees of orthodoxy or innovation. Prices are high--befitting the restaurant's location in an expensive shopping district--but the dining room has a relaxed atmosphere."
