Fit to Be Thai-ed at Next
The menu of Grant Achatz's newest incarnation of Next, called "Tour of Thailand," is now online; however, the technical overload caused by the small nation of people seeking the first round of tickets earlier today caused the entire buying process to be shut down before it even began. You can see the hubbub from frustrated customers on Next's Facebook page, many of whom suggested alternatives to the ticket system, such as holding physical competitions for tables; several even offered IT services in exchange for free meals. The updated ticket system may be in place for sales as early as tomorrow. Achatz apologized on his Facebook page, saying "demand was way over what we expected." This place is becoming the Cabbage Patch Kids of fine dining, amirite?
