Chicago’s Alinea Pops Up at Olmsted in Brooklyn for a Month

"A nearby neighborhood space was converted into a stark, white finale for the residency: tables and staff wore white, the floor and room were draped in white fabric, and chefs processed in single file bearing yellow chalices. The theatrical close featured a barrel‑stave‑smoked baked Alaska torched tableside and the famous 'Paint' (Mat Set) dessert, with chefs theatrically swiping sauces while black lights turned goblets and sauces into glowing, psychedelic visuals. The transformation turned the room into a cinematic, high‑energy closing act that amplified the residency’s combination of showmanship and technical flair." - Joshua David Stein
