Correction: Renown Spanish Chef Ferran Adria NOT Opening a Pizzeria

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 30, 2009 at 4:30 PM

Lisa Abend on Goumet lays to rest the rumor that Spanish superchef Ferran Adrià is opening a pizzeria:

"Albert [Adrià, Ferran's brother] was in Italy and eating pizza," recounts Ferran. "Someone from the press asked him if he ever thought of opening a pizzeria, and, trying to be polite, he said, 'Sure, someday, why not?' We are developing a lot of projects, and pizza might be one of them sometime in the future. But not anytime soon, not by a long shot"

I'm sorry that Slice was not diligent enough to debunk this at the time we blogged about it. I was lazy and went along with this story like a lemming. This editor regrets the error.
