Generous Grant

Famed chef Grant Achatz, of Chicago's Alinea, and his Next chef Dave Beran, were almost prevented from getting into Rich Table last night: "Damn restos that don't answer their phones... Oh, that could be us too, I guess." Evan Rich got the memo and got him a table for 6 in 15 minutes flat (hey, when you're Grant Achatz, you get treated well), and Achatz loved the meal. "What great food/service/wine tonight! Thank you!" [@gachatz]
