Happy Thanksgiving. Books make great gifts. A Bigfoot Bestiary and Other Wonders is a collection of poems that explores the mysteries of the human condition--from pain and loss to joy and friendship--all the big, hairy things that fill our lives with wonder and, sometimes, heartbreak.  The poems in the book chase the mythical figure of Bigfoot through mountain and forest, trying to capture the greatest mystery of all--love.

“It felt like I just stepped into a rodeo, and they shut the gate behind me.” That's how Grant Achatz describes his first day of working in the kitchen of Charlie Trotter's, then considered one of the world's finest restaurants. The future 3-Michelin-star Alinea chef was just 21 in the summer of 1995 when he convinced Trotter to give him a shot at his namesake Chicago restaurant. But Achatz did not have a positive experience and left after a few months, moving on to a longer tutelage under Chef Thomas Keller at the French Laundry in Napa Valley. When Achatz returned to Chicago to run his own kitchen, he and Trotter had what Achatz calls an “aggressively competitive” relationship. Trotter closed his restaurant in 2012 and died from a stroke the following year at age 54. Now Achatz—who appears in Rebecca Halpern's documentary about Trotter, Love, Charlie (as do I)—is presenting a lavish Trotter's menu at his restaurant Next and reflecting on his relationship with the late chef, whom he thinks hasn't received proper credit for all the innovative ways he changed fine dining.

Jon has details on: Chef Grant Achatz, Wieners Circle Plotting A Corn Dog Collab: The acclaimed Alinea chef and the beloved hot dog stand exchanged hints of the collab on Instagram, but Achatz […]

What is the biggest moment in your career as a chef? Is it opening your first restaurant? Maybe it's when you receive an accolade that you were always dreaming of, or maybe it's getting a really nice review from your city's food critic. These are all great moments, without a doubt, but I would venture to say that the biggest moment in a chef's career is when they finally start to find their own voice in their food, when all of these past experiences, dishes, and efforts come together in a unique vision that is completely their own.  Dave Beran, today's guest, had a very unique way of finding his voice in food. In fact, he was given the rains of a Chicago restaurant that would completely change every four months. That restaurant was aptly called Next, and it is a restaurant that pushes the imagination and boundaries of what our industry can do. Next would lead him to find his own style and voice, and ironically, after loathing the 1910 bistro menu Next began with in 2011, it led him down a path to where he is today, cooking in Santa Monica with his critically acclaimed Pasjoli, an elevated French bistro where they cook food that is rooted in Southern California but inspired by the markets of Paris. Here's what else was talked about: How the name of the restaurant came to fruition When Dave and Eli met after becoming Food & Wine Best New Chefs together in 2014 Dave's introduction into the industry as ”Toast Boy” Working for chef Michael Tramano at Tru in Chicago The intricacies of Pommes Soufflé  Getting a job at Alinea restaurant and why they start cooks as a food runner How his mentor, Chef Erick Williams of Virtue, helped guide him The day they got a call from Chef Grant Achatz telling them he had cancer The relearning process after Chef Achatz came back to the kitchen after receiving treatment How Alinea changed the game for modern food in America When he decided to open Next, and why there were 20,000 names on the list for reservations when they opened The moment he started to find his own perspective in food Opening his tasting menu-only restaurant, Dialogue Training actor Jeremy Allen White at Pasjoli to prepare for his lead role in The Bear  Eli and Dave w poetic about Chicago's Italian Beef sandwich! How they cook at Pasjoli and use old school techniques when roasting meats Why teaching his team so important to him and why he even opens the financial books for his team to learn and empower them A huge shout out to our sponsors, Maxwell McKenney and Singer Equipment, for their unwavering support, which allows us to be able to bring these conversations to you.

Der Historiker Achatz von Müller sieht in der "bandenmäßigen Besetzung des Kapitols" eine Parallele zu Mussolinis Marsch auf Rom.

Chefs do not come much more influential than culinary legend, Thomas Keller. For over 25 years, Chef Keller’s kitchens have been training grounds for many of the world’s top chefs, including Achatz, Jonathan Benno and René Redzepi. As quoted in the Michelin Guide: ‘Working at The French Laundry is to the future success of aspiring chefs what Harvard Law School is to up-and-coming lawyer’s.Here, Tom and Thomas discuss the importance of practice and persistence for young chefs, Keller’s much anticipated new cookbook The French Laundry, Per Se, and who the creators of his favourite shortbread are.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.16.298653v1?rss=1 Authors: Kurtev-Rittstieg, R., Achatz, S., Nourinia, A., Mittermeyer, S. Abstract: While directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows promising clinical effects by providing a new degree of freedom in programming, precise knowledge of the lead position and orientation is necessary to mitigate the resulting increased complexity. Two methods for orientation assessment based on postoperative CT imaging have become available, but neither of them is currently able to resolve the respective 180{degrees} artifact symmetry. Both rely on information about the intended orientation and assume that a deviation of more than {+/-} 90{degrees} is very unlikely. Our aim was to develop an enhanced algorithm capable of detecting asymmetries in the CT data and to thus eliminate the need for user interaction. Two different approaches are presented: one based on the lead marker's center of mass (COM) and one based on asymmetric sampling of the marker's intensity profile (ASM). Both were tested on a total of 98 scans of 2 lead phantoms, resulting in 165 measurements with a large variety of lead implantation and orientation angles. The 180{degrees} ambiguity was correctly resolved in 99.4% of cases by COM and in 96.4% of cases by ASM. These results demonstrate the substantial and currently unused asymmetry in CT and the potential for a truly automated workflow. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

That Girl with Pearl Earring, after Vermeer by: Martin Achatz That girl, with that piece of sea in her lobe, went out my front door just a few minutes ago with that boy she's been with these last three years. And that girl was wearing that lapis lazuli headband, gave that boy that look, the one Vermeer captured in that painting. That look, so unreadable, that could say, "Yes, I love you, and will let you touch me later," or, "You have no idea who I am, and you never will." That boy will do anything for that look as he carries the fishing poles, tackle box out the door behind her, and that girl laughs that laugh and calls to him, says, "Don't forget that bug spray." And that boy will look at that girl and, even though he has never heard of or seen that painting, he will understand it like no one else ever has. He will imagine spraying her with the scent of evergreen from that can, to keep the mosquitoes from eating her alive. To keep every last morsel of that girl's flesh for himself. The Barb-Wrangled Scammer O say can you see, by the Don’s COVID blight, What so loudly he hailed at his twilight’s last breathing, Whose broad snipes and spite barbs through the perilous fight, O'er the crash carts we watched, were so spinelessly screaming? And the President’s glare, his bombs bursting on air, Gave proof through the night that the flag was not there; O say does that barb-wrangled scammer yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? ME Kilpatrick Marquette, Michigan May 15, 2020 Americuss the Ugliness O ugliness for spacious lies, For amber knave of brain, For purple tragic travesties Above the rooted vain! Americuss! Americuss! Don hid his face from thee And drown thy good with other hoods From pee to pining pee! O ugliness for wicked feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for the Don beat Across the filthiness! Americuss! Americuss! Don mend thine every law, Confirm thy hole in self-console, Thy liberty in flaw! O ugliness for Nero proved In instigating strife, Who blessed himself as country died And Money more than life! Americuss! Americuss! May Don thy gold define, Till all success be Donald-dressed, And every grain designed! O ugliness for fascists dream That seeds beyond the years Thine black disaster cities scream Condemned with human tears! Americuss! Americuss! Don hid his face from thee And drown thy good with other hoods From pee to pining pee! ME Kilpatrick Marquette, Michigan May 16, 2020 In Jesus Name Jesus prays to the Father, not worried but bothered. In anguish he asks, “Let me not do this task.” But deep down in his heart, he knows evil is dark. He wants all to see the Light, So, he prays, “I’ll do what’s right.” The Father hears his prayer, and gives him strength in the lair. Liars and murderers assault his truth, but he remains love-strong like Ruth. So, when I pray in Jesus name, Like him I’ll say the same: “Not my will but thine!”, and love all the time.

Gopal Rajegowda, Senior Vice President at Related and a Managing Partner of Related Urban-Southeast joins Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss how Related is developing for an autonomous future. In this episode, Grayson and Gopal discuss reimagining City Place in West Palm Beach, FL into Rosemary Square and the future of retail experiences.Gopal touches on the work Related did with Gehl to reimage public spaces, optimize green spaces, walkability all the while ensuring that the environment is welcoming and approachable for all ages. Continuing the conversation, Grayson and Gopal discuss the rumor that City Place was one of Rick Caruso's inspirations for The Grove in Los Angeles, CA.Following up on this, they dive into the trend of walkable mix-use developments that incorporate great retail brands, culinary experiences, and hotels into developments. Building on their discussion around culinary experiences, they take a step into the past as Gopal tells a story about negotiating with Chef Thomas Keller to open Per Se at The Shops at Columbus Circle.Stepping into the future, Grayson leads the conversation towards turning culinary experiences upside down by bundling a mobility service with a fine-dining experience and why that could happen in Florida at a Related development. Enhancing the customer experience by bundling a mobility service with fine-dining is extreme hospitality. Benefiting both the owners and customers.Highlighting the experience at Grant Achatz's Alinea in Chicago, Grayson ponders what the experience would be like if Chef Achatz could curate the experience in an autonomous vehicle before a guest even steps foot in the restaurant. Closing out the conversation, Gopal discusses the common notion that you never have a second chance to make a first impression and how art has transformative powers in communities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Gomez is one of Achatz's regular patients at the A C Camargo Cancer Center in São Paulo, Brazil. He is extraordinarily susceptible to cancer. So too are many members of his extended family; cancer is so common among them - and premature death so painfully familiar - that until they learned very recently of the cause, some believed their family was cursed. Gomez's is not the only family affected. The 'cure' afflicts hundreds of thousands of people in Brazil." The startling discovery that hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have a genetic mutation that undermines their ability to resist cancer is helping labs worldwide in their search for new treatments for the disease.

How ambition, luck, and being a badass cook took Eric from the Art Institute to a stage at Noma for Chef Rene Redzepi, serving as a sous chef at Blueacre Seafood in Seattle while a full-time student, and working for Chef Grant Achatz at Alinea as an Research and Development chef. Eric came back to Seattle for Chef Josh Henderson and expanding the Huxley Wallace Collective restaurant group and pushing the culinary scene in Seattle, Washington. Eric also highlights how networking, hard working, and being prepared got him in front of the right people at the right time, providing him with opportunities to expand his career and grow as a cook, a chef, and a leader in the Seattle food scene. 

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we talk Crucial Detail with Martin Kastner, a former blacksmith from Western Bohemia, who was raised eating out of soup bowls, and later in life, found himself collaborating with Grant Achatz from Alinea after receiving a vague email simply stating, "I'm a chef looking for new ways of serving food." Little did he know, they'd forever change tableware (e.g. wax bowls, upright spoon, porthole) and the way we interacted with objects in general. From how we move through space, to our sensory perception, Kastner saw food as a medium transcending boundaries, curating a 5 hour, 25 course a tasting menu. Kastner used the same theatrics to help the USA team win their first medal at the Bocuse d'Or, a biennial culinary olympics. Soup, in general, especially due to Achatz's "Hot Potato Cold Potato," will never be the same.

Airwaves Full of Bacon 14: Hunting Frogs with Iliana Regan of Elizabeth • Hiring Grant Achatz • Wine Lists and Wine Writers in Chicago • The Squeezonk of Tolerance Click on the above to go to iTunes, Stitcher, Twitter or Facebook. ______________________________________________________________________________ They're out there... and there's only one way to stop them! (1:15) I go frog-giggin' with Iliana Regan of the foraging-based Chicago restaurant Elizabeth and her friends Tonya Pierce and William "Getty" Sikora, and then see how she turns foraged frogs and childhood memories into a fine dining dish. It was a long drive, so we had a lot of time to talk about foraging as a trend and a lifestyle on the way. You can read more about this at the Reader here and here. (24:34) Henry Adaniya (right above) was back in town for Next's newest menu paying tribute to his restaurant, Trio, where he gave Grant Achatz his start over a decade ago. The full interview was here in the Reader but I selected an excerpt about hiring, and almost not hiring, a kid named Achatz. Black truffle explosion (30:36) So wine retailer Craig Perman wrote this on Facebook. Then Shebnem Ince, who works for him, wrote this, and my friend John Lenart wrote this. What are they all talking about? Wine lists, and why we don't have more food writers critiquing them. So I gathered all three of them at Perman Wine Selections to talk about all that some more. Shebnem Ince, Craig Perman. (63:13) And I read a story at the last Between Bites, at Homestead, in July, called The Squeezonk of Tolerance.

Ep. 59 - Chicago Chef Grant Achatz (Alinea,NEXT) was in town this past weekend for the L.A. Food & Wine Fest, and we were lucky enough to get to sit down with him to talk about whether or not food is art (spoiler: when Grant Achatz cooks it, it is.) He also tells us about the void in his music taste that coincides with the years he was slaving away at the French Laundry. Grant also tells us about the time Justin Timberlake invaded his dining room at Alinea, and admits that one day he hopes to cook for Axl Rose.

Ziele dieser Arbeit waren zunächst die Optimierung der Synthese der razemischen 2- Hydroxy-2,3,3-trimethyl-butansäure (4) sowie die Entwicklung einer effizienten Razematspaltung dieser Säure. Nach dem Aufbau des Glycinäquivalents sollte dieses für den stereoselektiven Aufbau 2-substituierter 1-Aminocyclobutancarbonsäuren verwendet werden. Dabei sollte zum einen auf bereits bestehende Synthesemethoden zurückgegriffen, als auch ggf. neue Synthesewege entwickelt werden. Die 1-Aminocyclobutancarbonsäuren sollten anschließend auf ihre biologische Aktivität hin untersucht werden. Razemische 2-Hydroxy-2,3,3-trimethyl-butansäure (4) konnte in einer zweistufigen Synthese dargestellt werden, indem zunächst in Anlehnung an eine literaturbekannte Methode Pinakolon (5) mit KMnO4 zur 3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxobutansäure (13) oxidiert und diese dann mit einem Überschuß MeMgCl zur gewünschten razemischen Carbonsäure 4 umgesetzt wurde (Abb. 112). Für die Razematspaltung der razemischen α-Hydroxycarbonsäure 4 erwies sich Phenylalaninol (22) als am günstigsten. Damit konnte in zwei Schritten, durch Ausfällen und Umkristallisation, die enantiomerenreinen Carbonsäuren (S)-4 und (R)-4 nach Ansäuern in einer Enantiomerenreinheit von ≥ 99.5:0.5 erhalten werden. (S)-4 wurde durch Ausfällung mit (R)-Phenylalaninol ((R)-22, Abb. 112) und (R)-4 mit (S)-22 erhalten und dies in Ausbeuten von größer 70%. Nach der Synthese des chiralen Glycinäquivalents 2 in beiden enantiomeren Formen – (S)-2 und (R)-2 – nach einem Verfahren von A. Grandl wurde als Modellreaktion für die Synthese von Cyclobutylderivaten zunächst mit 1,3-Diiodpropan (41) als 1,3-Biselektrophil umgesetzt. Als Deprotonierungsreagenz diente Phosphazenbase (tBu-P4). Dabei entstand die spiro- Verbindung (R)-42 ohne erkennbare Nebenprodukte in einer Ausbeute von 35%. Nach Hydrolyse und Elution über einen Ionenaustauscher, konnte die freie Aminocyclobutancarbonsäure 48 in Ausbeuten bis zu 92% isoliert werden (Abb. 113). Anschließend wurden weitere Biselektrophile eingesetzt, welche mit dem Glycinäquivalent 2 2-substituierte spiro-Cyclobutanderivate liefern sollten. Zunächst wurden die mit einer geschützten Hydroxymethylenseitenkette versehenen 1,3-Biselektrophile (RS)-54 und (RS)- 65 eingesetzt. Diese waren aus 1,2,4-Butantriol ((RS)-49) in Synthesen von je 6 Stufen und in Ausbeuten von 32% ((RS)-65) und 25% ((RS)-54) zugänglich (Abb. 114). Trotz ausführlicher Variation der Versuchsbedingungen ließen sich diese mit 2 nicht zu den gewünschten spiro- Cyclobutanderivaten (ent)-64a/b umsetzen (Abb. 114). Als weiteres Biselektrophil kam trans-1,4-Dichlorbut-2-en (68) zum Einsatz. Anstelle der erwünschten diastereomeren Monoalkylierungsprodukte (ent)-69a/b wurden jedoch die vier diastereomeren spiro-Cyclopropylverbindungen (ent)-71a/b/c/d in einer Gesamtausbeute um 32% und in einem Isomerenverhältnis von 60:35:4:1 erhalten (Abb. 115). Da der Einsatz von Biselektrophilen nicht zu den gewünschten Verbindungen führte, wurde im Weiteren mit funktionalisierten Monoelektrophilen alkyliert. Der Ringschluß hatte dann in einem Folgeschritt zu erfolgen. Als Modell diente das allylierte Glycinderivat 83. Dieses wurde mit mCPBA zu den diastereomeren Epoxiden 84 und 85 umgesetzt (Ausbeuten >80%). Die anschließende Cyclisierung führte jedoch nicht zu den spiro-Cyclobutylverbindungen, was nicht unerwartet war, sondern zu den bereits bekannten spiro-Cyclopropylverbindungen 88 und 89 (Abb. 116). Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse wurden vergleichbare Versuche mit dem homologen Alken (ent)- 135a/b durchgeführt. Das dafür erforderliche butenylsubstituierte Glycinderivat (ent)-135a/b ließ sich mit Phosphazenbase tBu-P4 als Deprotonierungsreagenz und Butenylbromid (134) in 60% Ausbeute darstellen, wobei jedoch das Auftreten des doppelt alkylierten Produktes (ent)- 82 nicht vermieden werden konnte. Mit Butentriflat (136) als Elektrophil – unter Verwendung von sBuLi als Base – ließ sich dieses Nebenprodukt vermeiden und die Ausbeute an (ent)- 135a/b betrug 69% (Abb. 117). Die Verbindung (ent)-135a ließ sich mit mCPBA in einer Ausbeute von 86% in ein Gemisch der isomeren Epoxide (ent)-97a/b überführen, wobei die Diastereoselektivität etwa 1:1 betrug (Abb. 118). Alle Versuche, die Verbindungen (ent)-97a/b zu den spiro- Cyclobutylverbindungen (ent)-139a/b zu cyclisieren blieben aber erfolglos (Abb. 118). Eine Umsetzung des monobutenylierten chiralen Glycinäquivalents (ent)-135a mit Iod, in der Absicht, das Diiodaddukt des Alkens zu erhalten, führte zu den diastereomeren monoiodierten Bicyclen (ent)-145a/b in Ausbeuten von etwa 70 % und Diastereoselektivitäten von etwa 65:35 ds (Abb. 119). Bei einer weiteren Route wurden (R)-2 und (S)-2 zunächst mit Iodessigsäureethylester alkyliert, was in sehr guten Ausbeuten (85% und 83%) gelang (Abb. 120, nur Alkylierung an (R)-2 dargestellt). Versuche, (ent)-98a/b mit 1,2-Dibromethan als Biselektrophil zur spiro- Cyclobutylverbindung (ent)-100 umzusetzen, blieben trotz Variation der Reaktionsbedingungen erfolglos (Abb. 120). In Analogie zur Arbeit von O. Achatz ließ sich jedoch der Syntheseweg zu den spiro- Cyclobutylphenylsulfonylverbindungen 133a/b erfolgreich nachvollziehen. Das Glycinäquivalent (S)-2 wurde dazu zunächst mit den silylgeschützten Iodethanolderivaten 108 und 109, und anschließend mit Iodmethylphenylsulfid (116) alkyliert und die Produkte anschließend zu den entsprechenden Sulfonen 119 und 120 oxidiert. Abspaltung der Silylschutzgruppe lieferte dann das Derivat 121 (Abb. 121). 121 war jedoch noch über eine weitere Syntheseroute zugänglich. Dazu wurde das allylierte chirale Glycinäquivalent 83 zunächst ebenfalls mit Iodmethylphenylsulfid (116) alkyliert. Anschließend wurde die dann vorliegende Verbindung 123 oxidiert und damit die Sulfidfunktion in ein Sulfon überführt und die Doppelbindung zum Aldehyd gespalten. Nach Reduktion des Produktes 128 gelangte man zum oben beschriebenen Derivat 121 mit Sulfonund OH-Funktion. Diese wurde anschließend in das Iodid 132 überführt, welches nach Behandlung mit Base (tBu-P4) in guten Ausbeuten zu den gewünschten diastereomeren spiro- Cyclobutylverbindungen 133a/b cyclisiert werden konnte. Die Hydrolyse zu den freien 1- Amino-2-phenylsulfonylcyclobutylcarbonsäuren 102a/b steht noch aus (Abb. 121). Schließlich wurde noch eine weitere Syntheseroute entwickelt, welche letztendlich zu den gewünschten diastereomeren 1-Amino-2-hydroxymethylencyclobutancarbonsäuren 150, (ent)-150, 151 und (ent)-151 führte. Für diese Route wurde von den diastereomeren butenylsubstituierten Verbindungen 135a/b, bzw. (ent)-135a/b ausgegangen und diese zunächst mit OsO4 und Trimethylamin-N-oxid behandelt, wodurch die Doppelbindung bishydroxyliert wurde. Die dabei gebildeten vicinalen Diole entstanden in einer Gesamtausbeute bis zu 90% und in einem Verhältnis von etwa 4:4:1:1. Im nächsten Schritt wurde das Isomerengemisch 146a/b/c/d, bzw. (ent)-146a/b/c/d, ohne sie zu trennen, selektiv an der primären Hydroxyfunktion mit einem Silylrest geschützt (90% Ausbeute). Die sekundäre Hydroxyfunktion wurde dann in ein Iodid überführt. Die Ausbeute des Isomerengemisches 148a/b/c/d, bzw. (ent)-148a/b/c/d lag bei 90% und das Isomerenverhältnis bei etwa 4:4:1:1. Die Produkte wurden dann mit der Phosphazenbase tBu- P4 zu den gewünschten spiro-Cyclobutylverbindungen 149a/b/c/d, bzw. (ent)-149a/b/c/d cyclisiert (Ausbeute über 80%, Isomerenverhältnis etwa 45:35:15:5). Nach Desilylierung wurden in 90%iger Ausbeute Isomerengemische der freien Alkohole 139a/b/c/d, bzw. (ent)- 139a/b/c/d erhalten, die durch präparative HPLC in ihre Einzelkomponenten getrennt wurden (Isomerenverhältnis: 48:31:18:3 , Abb. 122, die Synthesesequenz ausgehend von (S)-2 ist dargestellt). Da die beiden Nebendiastereomere 139c/d, bzw. (ent)-139c/d nur in einem Anteil von zusammen 21% anfielen, wurden diese nicht für die Generierung der freien Aminosäuren verwendet. Hydrolyse der Hauptdiastereomere 139a und 139b lieferte die freien Aminosäuren 150 und 151. Zur Darstellung der spiegelbildlichen Aminosäuren (ent)-150 und (ent)-151 wurden die für diesen Zweck dargestellten Enantiomere (ent)-139a und (ent)-139b der vorgenannten Hauptisomere hydrolysiert. Die Ausbeuten für die freien Aminosäuren lagen bei über 70% (Abb. 123). Zudem wurde noch versucht, die Cyclobutaneinheit über eine thermische [2+2]-Cycloaddition aufzubauen. Angewendet wurde dabei eine Methode von Ghosez. Dabei wurde die Ethylidenverbindung (R)-154, die durch eine Aldolkondensation von (R)-2 mit Acetaldehyd (153) zugänglich war (78%), mit dem Keteniminiumsalz des N-Propionylpyrrolidins, das in situ erzeugt wurde, umgesetzt. Es entstand jedoch nur ein Produktgemisch der verschiedenen möglichen Diastereomere und dies auch nur in einer Gesamtausbeute von etwa 10%. Deshalb wurden keine weiteren Versuche in dieser Richtung unternommen (Abb. 124).
