Next Restaurant on Wednesday pulled back the curtain on their menus for the upcoming year.
The Chicago Tribune's Kevin Pang reports that Grant Achatz and Dave Beran's Next will follow up their acclaimed Kyoto menu with "The Hunt," beginning in January. Achatz and chef Dave Beran will follow that, in May, with an all-vegan tasting and then, in September, a Bocuse d’Or cooking competition menu.
Early this month at the Chicago Humanities Festival, Achatz revealed that "The Hunt" would kick off Next's 2013 menus. GrubStreet noted that the menu will center on game meats.
The Tribune also reports that Next will newly be open seven days a week starting "sometime this spring." Alinea and Aviary are expected to follow suit.
Though Next is a favorite of foodies, it has been snubbed two years in a row by Michelin.
