North America's Best

On Monday, April 26th, S. Pellegrino revealed this year's winners of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Well, well, well. Guess who moved up three spots to #7 and trumped Per Se as North America's Best Restaurant. (drum roll please)

ALINEA!

Chef Grant Achatz is an inspiration given what he has gone through in the last few years. A cancer survivor, James Beard award winner and a world-renowned chef.

Ranked #7 in the world in 2010. Not bad at all.

This recognition was well deserved and I was lucky enough to dine here twice last year. It looks like another pilgrimage to this fine establishment is warranted.
