An Australian woman is offering a blind date with herself at the world’s best restaurant after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Jules Clancy, a food scientist from Sydney, has a reservation for two at El Bulli in Spain on December 15, reports the Australian Daily Telegraph.
But after her relationship ended, she has nobody to go with so hit upon the idea of searching for a dining companion online.
“It’s my way of turning a bad situation into a positive. I’m not expecting to find romance. It would be lovely, of course. It’s always nice to find love,” she said.
“I had someone who offered to buy me dinner at the second best restaurant in the world – The Fat Duck in Bray in the UK – and that sounds good. I am open to bribes… food, wine and I like my champagne.
“The winner of Miss Clancy’s competition will have to meet their own costs in getting to chef Ferran Adria’s restaurant, plus go Dutch on the final bill.
The set food menu costs about £220 per person, but could cost more “depending on how crazy you go with wine,” Miss Clancy said. “I think it’s pretty reasonable.”
“I’d like to take someone who is easy-going, fun, witty and wants to enjoy the experience as much as I do,” she said.
With El Bulli only opened between April and December, competition for a table is fierce, with restaurant staff fielding over two million requests on the one day they take bookings for the year ahead.
Miss Clancy will announce the winning entrant on her blog TheStoneSoup on 16 November.
