It's here...

The Office: Classic Cocktails.

From the bar named best in the US.

These are the ones you've been asking for: easy to make, beautifully shot, learn why they work not just how.

Great gift for yourself or someone who loves the classics.

More 2020 craziness....

The Alinea Steakhouse experience...

We are, after all, in Chicago. :-)

It is hard to find the right words, but easy to know what is right. I feel it's important to publicly state our values, as we did to our employees yesterday in this note. All of our restaurants will be closed today and we should reflect on the root cause of 'why' not 'how'.

Pre-order our new book now https://t.co/KINNLpPgu8

This is *by far* the best written essay on how and why (equally important) to contain Covid19. I urge you to read it and share it. And I wish our govt. leaders understood this. Would be much better outcome in the US.

Here's something else I never thought I'd write... Alinea To Go is now live!

First week --> Beef Short Rib Wellington / 50-50 Mashed / Creme Brulee.

As a result we've already 'hired back' staff. Any profits will be shared amongst whole staff.

[nick kokonas @nickkokonas]

Finally for Next --> Let's revisit our popular Italia menu.

Handmade rigatoni with a creamy vodka sauce, Caesar salad and decadent cheesecake for dessert.

Did I mention we are offering add-ons of wine from our cellars and Aviary cocktail kits?

[nick kokonas @nickkokonas]

This is genuinely the saddest day for The Alinea Group, the hospitality industry, and our teams. And we've been through some shit before.

As of tomorrow, per mandate, all Alinea Group restaurants will be closed. All guests will be refunded -- please be patient.

Please be safe.
