Next<\/a> released a video earlier today for its new menu—Terroir—which will be the restaurant’s fifteenth incarnation. <\/p>\n

As anyone who knows me knows, I love, love, love<\/em> Next. The amazing food is the main reason, of course. But there’s also the fact that Next is a culinary Brigadoon, here for a brief time, then gone, changing its theme three times a year. With most restaurants, you can always say, “Oh, I’ll head there some other time.” Not so with Next. <\/p>\n

Miss a menu and you’ve lost your chance forever. Which, for me, gives each meal an added emotional resonance. It’s like tasting a dream.<\/p>\n

Hyperbole? OK, sure, somewhat. But not by much. Which is why I made it to six of the fourteen menus Next has hosted so far.<\/p>\n

But now comes Terroir, which has its first service tomorrow. And sadly, even if I were in Chicago, this is a meal I’d have to skip—it’s a wine-based menu, and since I don’t drink, its charms would be lost on me.<\/p>\n

*Sniff*<\/em><\/p>\n

Check out the video below, though, because if great wine plus great food is your kind of thing, you won’t want to miss Terroir.<\/p>\n
