《Next｜Ticketed Michelin Star Experience》

📍 Next Restaurant | Chicago Michelin One-Star 🎭 Ticket Entry · Seasonal Themes · Chef Grant Achatz ✅ Key Highlights Disruptive Experience: First in the U.S. with a “ticketed dining” model! Book time slots & party size online like concert tickets ($90–$165 per person), present your ticket on arrival—no ordering, the chef serves a fixed menu based on the day’s theme. Seasonal Themed Feasts: Changes global culinary themes every 3 months (e.g., “Paris 1906,” “Thai Street Food”) with immersive decor. Chef Grant Achatz even used AI to design the 2025 menu (ChatGPT generated a virtual chef for inspiration). Cost-Control Secrets: Centralized sourcing reduces waste, efficient kitchen planning, location avoids high-rent districts—savings are reinvested in ingredient quality. 💡 Experience Review 2025 Summer Menu: AI virtual chef “Gil” inspired lavender-honey roasted duck breast with Wisconsin wild berry sauce. Photo Hotspot: Open kitchen with flaming station → use the “Chicago Twilight” filter! Snap a pic of the chef’s handwritten AI menu as a prop. ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: 🔸 No late arrivals! Tickets expire if you’re late. 🔸 Business casual dress code (no flip-flops or tank tops). #ChicagoMichelin #CreativeDining #TicketedDining #NextRestaurant #AIFood
