Bill Gates’ strange visit to restaurant in Spain: He ordered a soda and left

One of the anecdotes that went unnoticed during Jordi Cruz’s visit to ‘Planeta Calleja’ relates closely to the tycoon and co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates. The billionaire featured in a strange occurrence in the ABaC restaurant, for which the Catalan chef and ‘Masterchef’ judge is the main man, as was told to Jesus Calleja.

During one of the conversations between the two, there was one detail that surprised the presenter. According to Jordi Cruz, he had the honor of receiving Bill Gates in his restaurant, which has three Michelin stars.

On one of the 67-year-old American’s visits to the city of Barcelona, he wanted to stop by the ABaC, although his stay turned out to be very surreal.

After ensuring that he closed the restaurant for Gates, Jordi Cruz revealed the surprises he had organized: “We had prepared the best dishes for him to eat”.

However, upon arriving at the premises, the businessman did something that did not please the Catalan chef at all. “He ordered a diet cola and left,” he explained.

The move, of course, outraged Jordi Cruz and his workers, who had accepted no reservations other than that of Bill Gates so that nothing would bother him that day.

“Do you think you have to close a nice place to come and have a cola?”, the chef wondered. Jesus Calleja couldn’t believe what he’d just heard and the Catalan could do nothing but confirm his bemusement: “Indeed, nothing, zero”.

Finally, the Masterchef judge settled the matter with a very blunt reflection on the experience and his opinion about Bill Gates: “There are people who have money, who are a bit fed up with everything and value it less”.
