Alinea, a renowned Chicago restaurant that recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, is hosting a month-long residency at Olmsted in Brooklyn. Chef Grant Achatz invited former mentee Greg Baxtrom to collaborate, highlighting the strong alumni network that has emerged over the years. Together, they've transformed the restaurant space creatively and are offering an innovative dining experience featuring nearly 20 courses spread across five locations. The event has generated significant interest, with tickets selling out quickly, showcasing the enduring influence of Alinea in the culinary world.
"I began thinking how many people have come through the restaurant and gone on to do amazing things. I wanted to involve the alumni. Greg was on my shortlist."
"The best compliment I got early on was it felt like if Alinea and Blue Hill Stone Barns had a casual baby."
"We did this all in two days. Short runway," agrees Achatz.
"The dinner unfolds over five locations and offers nearly 20 courses. It has many layers, no small amount of playfulness."
