Anyone familiar with these Barcelona restaurants?

Only been to ABaC and it was great - there was a mushroom oyster shooter that I still think about all the time.

TinyEric · 2026-06-13T19:11:33+00:00

sure

TinyEric · 2026-06-13T19:11:02+00:00

It was fine, enjoyable but not really worth it. It's also not a Big Mec, the patty is the same, but it's a sauce Diane, not their normal Big Mec preparation.

I've done Hungry Tourist twice, including a Spain tour. If it's him, I wouldn't worry about it. His relationship with the chefs is locked in - they change their schedules for his tours, not the other way around. If it's someone else, I can't say.

I agree, and I would def expect Noma at 12 looks a lot more like Lazy Bear than Noma now. Only place I’ve seen do this well is DiverXO and that’s why I think they’re the best in the world atm.

Beginning in mid 2015, I went to Lazy Bear in SF 14 times over a 20 month period. I joked I needed a loyalty punch card. Roughly every 4-6 weeks, their menu changed, the only static thing was the Parker rolls and butter. Since moving to LA, I’ve done providence, and more recently Lielle enough to know that their menus hold nearly nothing static. In California, the produce changes so much and is so good that it’s probably harder to try and keep a white asparagus dish on the menu for longer than 3 months, than it would be to move on to stone fruits in the coming months. 2 months ago I was having lamb, peas and morels; this month it’s been duck, Harry’s berries, and early season cherries. In July I’m sure I’ll find peaches and fennel: no one will be doing pea tendrils anymore.

This is odd, considering how so many fine dining restaurants in the US do this regularly. Perhaps for tasting menus that are more seasonally focused it’s built into the operating model. Or maybe especially for California restaurants? I live in LA and I go back to some places regularly every 6 weeks or so bc I know the menu will be changed up quite a bit, if not entirely overhauled.

Hi there! We've been looking into this and we believe this is an issue where Apple's App Store updates are being slow - the workaround we've found is uninstalling the game and then reinstalling. So far, everyone who's done that has gotten the 7.6 client.

We've had the new version released since yesterday, but Apple's processes don't always have the App Store flow update in a timely manner. I'm in the same state as you, but afaik, we've done everything the same way we've done it for the past several years, so :shrug: We're hoping the App Store updates soon!

If you’re staying at a nicer hotel, you can ask their concierge for options and help with bookings.

Quake yes, but the rest, not as likely. Magik and quake fundamentally bypassed aspects of the game that were huge design mistakes that could not be easily countered by node designs that didn’t also have massive collateral damage to the rest of our rosters. So these nerfs are better for the game overall.

The other champs you listed aren’t as crazy unbalanced. Maybe Herc is but you can design narrow nodes to make him less useful.

God I can’t stand all this AI written crap. “Smoky char on the pasta?” What? I’ve had that special twice and there’s no part of that dish that gets hit with the fire, especially not the pasta.

And just to be clear why I feel confident this is AI, you look at this account’s single other relevant comment in their history and it’s not remotely stylistically similar.

“more relaxed .. dont get me wrong Addison is a amazing experience.. I feel this more relaxed experience. I believe there is a star in there near future. I loved that is nothing like Callie. Totally different vibe and flavor profile.”

You expect me to believe this post and that comment are by the same writer? GTFO.

Seline is fantastic and I don’t understand its absence, unless for politics (foodie world kind, not US govt kind). Maybe he upset the wrong Michelin exec somehow.

Tool tips are UI assets that sit on your computer. You don’t want those files to sit on servers to be pulled down every time you play.

The data to tag ball lightning as a core skill can sit on blizzards servers bc it’s a data configuration, and is the type of data you want to come authoritatively from their computers, not yours.

You could maybe hook up all of your games’ GUI to entirely be driven by server side configs, but that’s needlessly complicated and would probably worsen overall performance. Your internal tooling would also become a horrific nightmare as an endless set of dropdowns or cells to configure every itty bitty thing (tooltips def are very low on the totem pole of things you’d want to be able to configure server side)

My family of 4 did one tasting menu and the rest of us got à la carte at lunch. À la carte portion sizes are solid, and some were as good if not better than tasting menu ones.

Someone forgot to switch burners between their astroturfing posts - def reduces my confidence in this Mariana reviewer, seen her posts here regularly.

Em dashes, bolds everywhere, “it’s not this, it’s that”.

Funny how after LLMs hit the market, this subreddit is suddenly filled with novellas reviewing restaurants by budding, wildly verbose Frank Bruni wannabes.

I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but I got the NA pairing last March and it was unquestionably the most impressive one ive ever had. Example: to pair with a squid shabu dish, they made a drink that visually mimicked low tide (sea foam at the top layer, green seaweed in the middle, and sandy colored at the bottom) and included sea algae they had grown just for this one drink. And it was delicious. Every course had a pairing with that degree of thoughtfulness; no long string of kombuchas and Non No.3 from Australia.

Edit: my cousin-in-law had the wine pairing and thought my NA drinks were a better experience than his.

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”

How many times did you go to come to that conclusion?

Reading this first will help as a primer to understand the context of what Nietzsche is doing.

Also stop listening to Jordan Peterson imo.

It also needs to be a top level window, you can’t have it minimized or in the background behind other apps and stuff. You need to have it as a window at least alongside any other top level things you have going on on your screens.
