Next from Grant Achatz.
Next Restaurant will serve four menus per year from great moments in culinary history – or the future. Our team of chefs will investigate, test, refine, and present authentic menu interpretations from cultures, places and times. Depending on the cuisine, meals will be 5 to 6 courses and will include food, beverage pairings, and service....
A meal at Next will represent a great value. Depending on the menu AND what day and time you are dining, food will be $40 to $75 for the entire prix fixe menu. Wine and beverage pairings will begin at a $25 supplement. Next’s goal is to serve 4-star food at 3-star prices....
Instead of reservations our bookings will be made more like a theater or a sporting event. Your tickets will be fully inclusive of all charges, including service. Ticket price will depend on which seating you buy – Saturday at 8 PM will be more expensive than Wednesday at 9:30 PM. This will allow us to offer an amazing experience at a very reasonable price. We will also offer an annual subscription to all four menus at a discount with preferred seating.

Wine: Natural isn't perfect
By Dave McIntyre
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Wine is not immune to political correctness or polemics. (Readers who merely desire a simple glass of fermented grape juice to enjoy with dinner might want to turn to the editorial page now.) The latest battlefront in wine is whether that juice you're drinking is "natural.
The natural-wine movement has been sweeping France for a few years now, with stylishly dressed millennials in trendy wine bars in affluent urban neighborhoods celebrating the peasant vignerons who defy globalization in defense of terroir.

These kinds of studies are sorely needed, and fast, because as of right now, about 85 percent of the corn grown in the US is genetically engineered to either produce an insecticide, or to survive the application of herbicide. And about 91-93 percent of all soybeans are genetically engineered to survive massive doses of Roundup herbicide.

London Lennie’s opened roughly 50 years ago in Queens as a four-seat fish ’n’ chips shop. Since then, it’s become a full-fledged fin house, and to celebrate its half-century in existence, on April 13 from 3–6 PM (otherwise known as the freelancer’s happy hour), it’s offering $1.50 fish ’n’ chips at the bar (718-894-8084).

First and probably last shad roe of the season this morning. Mmm. Sauteed in butter four minutes on a side with lid on, drizzled in lemon juice, sprinkled in salt.
