When you’re the chef of the best restaurant in the country, where do you go for dinner when you don’t want to cook? That’s the question Gridskipper put to Grant Achatz. While acknowledging old masters like Charlie Trotter, he picks a collection of mostly new places: “A recent burst of young, creative risk takers has helped establish Chicago as a world class food city by filling in the holes that once existed, while creative cocktails and authentic ethnic cuisine continue to grow.” When he’s not manning the kitchen at Alinea, or working on his next restaurant Next, you can find him at Schwa, Drawing Room, Kith and Kin, The Bristol, and TAC Thai.
