PrintUnderground Brooklyn Chef Re-Creates $1,500 Alinea Meal
Michael Cirino, proprietor of the New York-based underground supper club A Razor, A Shiny Knife (ARASK) trekked to Chicago for an eight-hour re-enactment of a 21-course dinner Thomas Keller and Grant Achatz prepared earlier this year. Our Chicago correspondent Michael Nagrant was there (tickets went for $300 instead of $1,500): "While 21 courses is daunting enough, some—like 'spice cake, persimmon, rum'—required 17 different recipes and 103 ingredients...they’d been prepping for almost a week (starting last Sunday in Cirino’s Brooklyn kitchen)."

Has it come to this--the culinary version of a tribute band?
The food world is becoming a circus. The stilts. The flying trapeze. The clowns. And the ringmasters are orchestrating the whole farce.
Let's drop the foodie fetish and just be an eater. Let's go to grandma's.

@Feefiefoefum, with all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about.
