My personality was always such that I always look straight forward, never behind or to the side.
From Grant Achatz
Whatever it is you're doing, whether it's your career or a particular focus, if you're trying to be the best you can possibly be, then you'll be putting that pressure on yourself.
We all eat two to six times a day. Why? Because we are supposed to, we are programmed to, we want to.
What makes the food that we do at Alinea so interesting on the outside is that we really don't let ourselves say no to an idea.
Alinea is not the type of restaurant where you go if you're in a hurry. Really, it's about enjoying that three-hour block of time and reflecting on the food, having great conversation with your dining companion.
The popularity of the Internet and using it as an available resource has really changed the way chefs kind of gather information and look for inspiration. To me, a food trend is potentially a lot of people following an idea.
