Beautiful! We had all the same courses on our visit (http://flickr.com/photos/janiceangstrom/sets/72157606023767511/), but in a different order and with some slightly different platings. And you know, the chocolate duck was one of our favorites… although we may have been influenced by the waiter telling us it was a staff favorite too.
And yeah, it’s so impressive that you asked for seconds on the chicken liver!

The Huevos Rancheros looks great any time of day. I see that you fried the egg, would you also consider scrambing it?

Say what????

I found this at TasteSpotting. I had to look – guess I’m too “blue collar” for this type of “food”.

YES! I love you SO MUCH because you went and adored it! Do and I went for his birthday two years ago, and it was literally a life changing experience. We’d never thought about food that way before, it was eye-opening. We arrived at six pm and left after midnight after ordering the 24 courses with wine pairing. It was better than sex. Oh man. I am SO HAPPY that you were blown away as well!

Wow, thanks for this report! I recently read the article in the New Yorker and also read about him in Ruhlman’s Soul of a chef, not to mention hearing about Alinea from literally every foodie I know. So thanks for the personalized report! I don’t know if I’ll ever go there, but I’m glad you did!

That place looks so fun! I love crazy places like that where the food is amazing, but also an adventure. Morimoto was like that for me, but it wasn’t even as crazy as this place you went! I LOVE the hanging bacon! Very cool.

Love the name, but I have a small quibble.

Claudia carries the “Truth” in her heart. I’m too far away from her house to get an invite, but I’d go there, anytime.

Now I must go see your place. Do you have any leftover caviar or stuff like that?

I literally “LOVE” your blog. I have heard so much about Alinea but the photographs you did are phenomenally helpful, no verbal description can match that. Must be tough in Nashville now that you have seen culinary truth.

Claudia:

Did all of that “2 way, 3 way” stuff have its genesis in Cincinatti 5 way Chili? No, prolly not. This sounds like that meal Tony Bourdauin talked about eating in Spain.

Holly Crap. I didn’t know food could make me feel inadequate, on the internet no less. I feel intrigued, hungry, and befuddled all at the same time.

What a cool experience. I feel so boring around here having had a turkey and cheese sandwich for lunch!

Precisely why I want to go to dinner with you! You do all the cool stuff!

Absolutely art.

Wow. What an extraordinary dining experience! Twenty-seven courses — what a trooper! : ) My poor Midwestern mind hardly knows how to wrap itself around this one, but all the gorgeous photos helped. Thanks for sharing this!

In. Credible. This sort of presentation reminds me of Arzak (Spanish chef)…I have his cb, and haven’t tried to make a darned thing from it. LOL I think of it as an art book rather than a cookbook.
