The Most Well Designed PB&J Ever

The Alinea Project. It sounds like manga or a nuclear bomb, but it's actually a restaurant. A lovingly, comprehensively documented restaurant. A restaurant that finds traditional methods of preparation, traditional lighting, spaces, traditional flavors and traditional utensils too limiting. It's Alinea -- brainchild of superchef Grant Achatz -- a restaurant that decisively answers the question, what would it be like if Matthew Barney applied his talents to the culinary world?

Nice art, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather eat if I'm going out for a meal.
