Next, owned by Nick Kokonas and Grant Achatz of Alinea, completely changes their menu and decor every few months with each round focusing on a different theme. Some of the past concepts have included: Paris 1906, Tour of Thailand, Vegan, Sicily and Kyoto. Tonight’s feast was a journey to Paris in a tiny bistro.
