Grant Achatz of Alinea Podcast

Just put up a podcast interview with Grant Achatz over at Hungry. As you can imagine, he's a really thoughtful and intelligent chef, and the conversation covers his vision of constant evolution, perfecting something, throwing it away, and starting again. We also talk about customer expectations, why molecular gastronomy isn’t a meaningful label, how family meal or “comida” is different for the Alinea staff, and of course the most important question, what is Achatz favorite Potbelly sandwich?

There's also a photo slideshow of the Alinea kitchen during prep from a few weeks ago:
