Business Description
The exploration of world cuisine. By Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas. Chicago. Follow us on Twitter @NextRestaurant.
It’s been a thrill for us to present ElBulli, Sicily, and Kyoto Kaiseki this year and the risks, hard work, and rewards of delicious food and shared experiences can been directly attributed to our relationship that is unique in the restaurant world. We thank you for your enthusiastic patronage!
For 2013 we are excited to present:
Our first menu -- THE HUNT – will begin January 9th and run through April 28th. Wild game will be featured, but so too other foraged and forgotten foods and techniques. It will prove a robust and adventurous meal for the peak of the Chicago winter.
Next up? VEGAN ! From May 8th to August 24th. Creativity often comes from imposing limits upon oneself and finding novel solutions within a framework of constraint. As Spring turns to Summer Next will feature a creative and ambitious menu without meat. Now, we at Next are the farthest thing from strict vegetarians but we are incredibly excited to be producing a menu of truly 4-star vegan cuisine. We look forward to welcoming a whole new set of customers to Next – and to surprising our omnivorous regulars!
And finally, our grand menu of the year – Bocuse D’or – Concours Mondial de la Cuisine. With chef Achatz serving as one of the coaches to the US team it seemed fitting to bring the Olympics of the Culinary World to Next. This is the real Top Chef challenge: contestents have 5 hours and 35 minutes to prepare elaborate presentations. While we will not be under these time constraints (and limits on the number of chefs!) we will create presentations representative of the contest – elaborate meat and fish platters – while expanding on the menu to create a complete – and interactive – experience. Our Bocuse D’or will run from August 31st to December 31st.
As with our ElBulli menu there will be an upcharge for the Bocuse D’or menu as we will serve far fewer patrons every evening. As before, we will be auctioning off one table of two each night with 100% of the proceeds donated to the US Bocuse D’or USA Foundation. Our goal is to raise awareness of the competition within the US and to support the US team with the ultimate goal of a US victory.
Tickets will go on sale just before the start of each menu and may be purchased for 2, 4 or 6 people. Pricing is scaled by day of the week and time.... look for updates on our FB and Twitter pages.
