PS I'll ignore the pig part, if you ignore the pig part.

HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS ONE OF GRANT ACHATZ ASSISTANTS JUST ORDERED FROM ME!!!!!!! Apparently they’re opening or renovating a new restaurant in Chicago, and they needed our product.

I told him to tell Grant I said “Hi” and he laughed and said “okay”

I have never heard a more suitable name- Dave Beran’s ‪‎Next‬ brings “the next” face of the restaurant every 3 months. You may be experiencing a‪ ‎Chicago‬ steakhouse one month, and come back to explore Modern Chinese a few weeks later.

What to expect right now? A trip to The Alps… 📷 @johnhess Northern Italian salad with a liquid nitrogen frozen vinaigrette and fermented berries.

‪Chicago‬

Everytime I end up in Chicago I feel like I shouldgo here more. Taking the ‪‎James Beard Awards‬ out of ‪NYC‬ is a huge statement in food – and Dave Beran backs it up.

... heated stones turn artichoke and eucalyptus leaves into an aromatic hike through the Northern California woods. Centered in the dish, an egg cup holds artichoke puree, sauteed snails, miniature dices of fried basil baguette and snail caviar; the "if it grows together, it goes together" dictum has never been so persuasive.

You'll Spend Over $1,000 on Next's New Menu

Dinner for two at Next, a Chicago restaurant that overhauls its entire menu three times a year, will cost over $500 per person in its latest iteration, we report over at Eater. Yeah, that's a lot of money.

The menu, which revisits the time chef Grant Achtatz spent at Trio before he opened Alinea, starts at $245 during off-peak hours and reaches $255 on Friday and Saturday nights. Wine pairings are $138. Add on Chicago sales tax (10.5%) and the service charge (20%) and you're at $1,015 for two. 

Trio appears to be Next's most expensive menu to date. Previously, the el Bulli service was $365 with pairings. Last year's Bocuse d'Or menu, by contrast, was $313 with regular pairings, or $363 with reserve wines. The Trio service is spendiest of all, at $383-$393 before tax and tip. As is the case with every menu at Next, tables are booked by paying for the full price of the meal in advance, via the restaurant's online ticketing system.

So what say you world. Is Next's new menu a BUY HOLD OR SELL?

It's all set. I'll be the first solo diner in the history of Next restaurant on Wednesday, August 20. I'm bringing a book.
