Food Chain / Food & Drink Grant Achatz on Next
Posted by Julia Thiel on 04.04.11 at 12:06 PM
The concept was inspired by a meal Achatz cooked for his business partner, Nick Kokonas, after Kokonas drove back from a golf tournament in Michigan upon hearing that Achatz had been diagnosed with Stage IV tongue cancer. After the jump, Achatz talks about the duck dish that made Kokonas crave classic French and Italian cooking, his own desire for ramen, and how that evolved into a restaurant that will completely change in concept every three months.
