Yes. elBulli closed in the summer of 2011 and will open again in 2014 as a 'creativity center,' where chefs can come to learn and demonstrate skills. The fabled restaurant is no more.

It never made money, but was supported by the cookbooks, lectures, and demonstrations.

They took reservations one day a year for the upcoming season. Had two million requests - could serve 8,000 covers a season. Chefs from around the world would come just to work there. Would have up to 42 chefs working in that small place at a time.

Won Best Restaurant in the World in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, before dropping to #2 in 2010.
