I’ve been remiss in not yet sharing with you my impressions of the visits I made to Next<\/a>, Alinea<\/a>, and The Aviary<\/a> (plus The Office<\/a>, a speakeasy beneath The Office) during Chicon7<\/a>, but recovering from the trip while staying on top of Blastr<\/a> left me with no remaining juice to tell the whole amazing story of the restaurants Chef Grant Achatz<\/a> has created. Rest assured, though … that will come. <\/p>\n

For now, suffice it to say that I was so enamored of his constantly changing restaurant, Next—if you don’t eat there during each cuisine’s brief run. you’ve missed it forever\u2014that I decided my three-star Michelin taste of Sicily wasn’t enough and so booked tickets for Kyoto the moment they became available this evening.<\/p>\n

Booked? Tickets? Why, what could Scott possibly mean? What kind of restaurant sells tickets?<\/em> <\/p>\n

Don’t worry, all will be explained later, when I finish my write-up of the above gastronomic experience … this weekend, I hope.<\/p>\n

In any case, if you’re wondering what awaits me during Chef Achatz’s Kyoto menu, perhaps the first video teaser he released will explain it all.<\/p>\n
