Grant Achatz - Another incredibly talented "science" chef

submitted by djsunkid

1 decade 7 years 9 months 3 weeks ago

OK, where MOTO is over the top with crazy science experiments, Alinea is just good, solid culinary excellence. Achatz was Thomas Kellar's sous-chef at the French Laundry during the "golden years" back in the 90s when the French Laundry was still an intensly personal experience. When Achatz left Kellar to move back to Chicago, they first took a trip to Spain where they got to visit El Bulli, an experience that obviously left a deep impression on Achatz.

This is my destination restaurant in Chicago, and probably more than any other in north america, I can't wait to go here.

I used to live in Napa and have been to the French Laundry many years ago. How do you know about it? Very cool.

My meal at Alinea was one of the most creative & delicious meals of my entire life. If at all possible, go there.

The french laundry is one of the most famous restaurants in north america. The chef, Thomas Kellar is the only american born chef to have 3 stars from le guide michelin, and he currently has a total of something like 8, which puts him in super-chef stratus. What's more, the cookbooks for The French Laundry and Bouchon, his Bistro in Napa, are absolutely gorgeous, and widely distributed and extremely popular in the cooking world. Also, a full third of Michael Ruhlman's book "The Soul of A Chef" is devoted to the French Laundry.
