They just reviewed this restaurant in the Reader this past week. Sounds pretty crazy.

Alinea's not going anywhere, it's Grant Achatz's place, from Trio. Chicago is the center of Ferran Adria-inspired cooking right now, the way New York is becoming the center of the Fergus Henderson and Mario Batali offal revival (except NY's just the American center; Chicago's embraced Adria more than anywhere outside Spain).

There's a lot of Alinea stuff on Egullet -- Grant posts there, and was very open about the process of designing the restaurant -- everything from the custom-made serving utensils for specific dishes to lighting to the procession of the tasting menu. I don't have a link handy, but look for the Alinea Project sub-board.

I fear things with froth on them. Too much like spit.
