A Funyun. That’s the dish that best encapsulates the experience at José Andrés’s $325-a-head tasting counter. Our 17-course dinner opened with just that—a single, crunchy ring that spilled with caramelized-onion cream and idiazabal cheese at the first bite. It tasted uncannily like the junky snack, and also a thousand times better. At its best, Minibar turns high-minded dining on its head with a sense of humor and surrealism. A few courses later, a pair of croquetas showed up on a sculptural model of Andrés’s hand.
