No.7 – Alinea

2010 Awards – Best Restaurant in North America

“Alinea is a chef driven restaurant – we live and die by the work, cuisine and vision of Grant Achatz”. That is the view of Grant’s Business partner in Alinea.

Judging by our Academy’s opinions, the Chicago staff of Alinea can rest assured their lives are in safe hands with Achatz at the helm. And you’ll know why if you ever get to try dishes such as the all American peanut butter and jelly sandwich, served with bread wrapped round a grape on a specially made spike.

This is arguably the most cutting edge food in America. And in 2010, Grant Achatz’s Chicago outpost has been crowned as the Best Restaurant in North America.  The future is bright for Achatz with two new “projects” in the pipline for 2010.
