Crazy Concepts

Grub Street has a jump on the big news that Grant Achatz, chef of Alinea restaurant, will continue to challenge people's concepts of dining with a molecular gastronomy bar in Chicago called Aviary along with a new restaurant called Next that will feature menus reflecting different cities of different time periods. The menus will change every three months and diners will have to purchase tickets to eat there. There's an interesting video to introduce the idea. Guess those rumors weren't so far off.
