Next Prepares for Bocuse D'Or
Next intended to debut its new menu, Bocuse d'Or, on Saturday, Aug. 31, but Friday's storm knocked out power at the restaurant (as well as the Aviary next door), delaying Next's latest incarnation by a day. However, dining is back on track and reservations are open (if you can land one). Here's a preview.
The Bocuse d'Or menu is based on this year's menus from Team USA's entry into the biennial French cooking competition. Chef Grant Achatz was one of the coaches of this year's team, which finished a disappointing seventh in the highly competitive contest. The Bocuse d'Or is as much about presentation as it is about taste, and the preview video demonstrates how carefully crafted each platter will be prepared for lucky diners.
