Chicago's Shining Star Returns

Following a groundbreaking 10-year anniversary residency at Faena in 2016, this collaboration brings Alinea’s visionary cuisine to Pao, offering an unparalleled cultural experience. Timed alongside the F1 Miami Grand Prix, which runs from May 1st through May 4th, the alliance promises an exciting menu influenced by Miami’s unique ingredients and culinary traditions. Chef Achatz and his team will work alongside Pao’s chefs and local purveyors to create dishes that reflect Alinea’s boundarypushing modernist cuisine using the flavors of South Florida. The first leg of the anniversary tour, which includes stops at Chef Greg Baxtrom’s Olmsted restaurant in Brooklyn, NY (March 20 - April 13) and the Maybourne Beverly Hills (July 23 - August 20), will have at least one unique dish per city and select pop-ups of The Alinea Group’s two awardwinning cocktail bars, The Aviary and The Office.

The experience offers two seatings, Wednesday through Sunday, with additional wine pairing options available. Chef Grant Achatz is one of the world’s most celebrated and influential chefs that redefined fine dining with Alinea, which has earned three Michelin stars for 14 consecutive years. The James Beard Foundation named him Best Chef in the United States, while Time Magazine honored him as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. “Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with an incredible team, building strong relationships with farmers, purveyors, and winemakers, and forging lasting friendships with industry peers around the world,” said Achatz. “We are grateful for the journey, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing the Alinea experience to new cities and sharing it with our loyal guests.”
