Alinea celebrity chef Grant Achatz and partner Nick Kokanas have another culinary cost-is-no-object hit on their hands with Next, the prestigious James Beard Foundation's 2012 national award winner for Best New Restaurant. James
Beard Foundation: Best New Restaurant winner (national), 2012; Dave
Beran, Best Chef: Great Lakes finalist, 2013; Rising Star Chef of the Year finalist (national), 2012.
"A
challenge and temptation to ambitious chefs across the country has
arisen here on Chicago's near west side, south of the train tracks on a
block thick with idle meatpackers' trucks. In a plain and narrow space
that evokes a black-box theater, Grant Achatz, the celebrated modernist
chef, and his business partner and patron, Nick Kokonas, have opened a
restaurant, Next, that offers a new model of fine dining. Service has
become theater at Next, right down to the price of admission."
