Well if you can make the time to come out Cape why don't we plan an excursion in the coming year? I am sure we could get a good crowd to Alinea.

Smile I have been there...loved the flatware

I just recently visited Alinea and enjoyed the experience very much.
I opted for the tour which lasted about 5 hours, perhaps a few minutes more. We also got the wine pairing which I would suggest to anyone. THis enhanced all the flavors, as it should do.

I was very impressed by the plating of the food, which i understand was designed by the chefs architect friend. Does anyone have any idea as to how you get into this line of work'?
I find it emmensly interesting, and would love to find out more.

First off I would love to be able to get together with you guys again. I'm jealous about Philly,but thats life. And June is also impossible for me

July (first week) I'm off from work.

I have been reading some very passionate posts (on both sides of the court) about Alinea.

I guess the 18th is out?
That would work better for me....but I am only one of 4.
Does anyone live in the Chicago area? Or are you all getting room?
Frizbee

Oh also, any idea on price for dinner?
