We mentioned a few months ago that Alinea would eventually move from offering an option of taking either a 12-course “Tasting” or a 26-course “Tour”, to moving to one simple 18-course menu. Well, that move happened yesterday, though it turns out Grant Achatz out did himself. It’s now a standard 21-course menu. On Twitter he explained, “New Alinea menu is 21 courses long. Hopefully as we refine the timing we can sneak a few more in there. Estimating 2.5 hour meal.” But even the 21 number may get bumped up, as this morning he noticed that the average meal was only “2 hours 15 minutes,” and that it was, “Time to add more courses….” [@gachatz]
