Food & Drink / Food Chain Get well soon, Grant Achatz
Posted by Mike Sula on Mon, Jul 23, 2007 at 1:51 PM
Grant Achatz's publicist just released this note from the man himself.
"I wanted to personally report that I have been very recently diagnosed with an advanced stage of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the mouth. I have consulted several prominent physicians and will likely begin aggressive treatment within the next few weeks. I remain, and will remain, actively and optimistically engaged in operations at Alinea to the largest extent possible. Alinea will continue to perform at the level people have come to expect from us -- I insist on that. I have received amazing support from friends, family, and everyone who has thus far been told of the disease, and I look forward to a full, cancer-free, recovery."
