Looking for el Bulli utensils in the U.S.

August 1, 2006 4:17 PM

Anybody know where I can buy the Faces - Ferran Adria Collection in America? I'm looking for three specific items, and would like to avoid paying the exorbitant overseas shipping charges associated with ordering from a foreign source. Online sources preferred, but even a bricks and mortar store that I might be able to call and order from would be fine. Thanks in advance

Have you tried contacting Faces Design for stateside restaurant supply stores that may carry it?

That would have been an obvious first step, but no, I didn't. I just sent an email off now.

Still no response from FACES, so if anyone's got any other ideas or seen this domestically, please let me know.

In either the current issue of Wine spectator or Gourmet magazine there is an online merchant listed for "Faces" flatware and service-ware in the U.S. I left the magazines on a plane and can't remember the website (think it is Chroma - something) but if you pick up those magazines you can find what you are looking for - think it was Wine Spectator...
