Very funny post! You captured the hidden pleasures of the Alinea experience very well. I’m not a food blogger, but I wrote a 2-part essay about Grant, Alinea and one of his demos earlier this year. In a weird way life unfolds sometimes, I got to know this amazing person. Currently he is using one of my drawings as his avatar for Twitter. Check it out when you have a chance…

You are hilarious! I loved reading your humorous account of a very cool night of cuisine. I found your site via La Fuji Mama. Congratulations on your cookbook and interview on ABC! I love that women bloggers are gaining so much recognition, particularly when it’s a surprise to start something mainly for yourself and have it end up so big and successful beyond anything you imagined! Congrats!

This looks great! As a Chicagoan, I’ve wanted to go here forever! Just blogged about a great dinner at TRU–another amazing chicago spot.

Um, I’ll confess to using my finger to swipe part of the tablecloth at the end, and licking my finger. Nobody was fighting me for that part of the tablecloth afterwards!

Oh wow, fantastic night out! So, did you end up licking the tablecloth clean? ‘Cos I would have!

I think this was the most extraordinary meal I’ve ever eaten, and a bargain at the several hundred dollar bill it ended up being. Can you believe we rolled out of there at half past midnight? And they were still cooking in the kitchen? So much fun enjoying this meal with a group of hilarious gals who appreciated every bite.
