Food is funny....Taught last class of the year at Cooper yesterday, where upon I entertained my highly evolved Pavlovian desire to retire to (admittedly most of the time nightmare) know as McSorleys Ale house. Simple fact is that when not populated by too many idiotic frat yahoos, I can satisfy post teaching burn-out craving for their profoundly mediocre hamburger and damp fries but also amazing crazy hot chinese-anglo mustard...w/two of thoses light beers? I dont get it but...happy,yes....
Go......or not....

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.
Sushi UO is grand cru....
We asked for $100 in food, so $180 tax & tip w/ beers....

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.
