I've just read that Grant Achatz has been diagnosed with cancer. www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/2007/07/alineas-grant-achatz-has-cance.html

I've never been to Alinea, let alone the US, but it deeply saddens me as I was only listening to his NPR appearance yesterday. All your experiences have made the restaurant very real to me.

I hope this maestro makes a full recovery quickly.

You've always kicked a$$ - no reason to think you won't do it again!

Dear Chef:

It was quite a kick in the gut to read of your illness this morning. What a shock. Please get well soon, and rest assured that our prayers are with you (as well as those of an awful lot of other people!).

Hey G- this really sucks.

Your attitude doesn't, and that's a big help. I'm married to a man who was diagnosed end stage twice, in as many years.

He's still married to me, and we live in interesting times.

Life is an opera. I think you've got the chops.

Best,

I, too, am with you, man. We've never met, but I've been an admirer of your progress since your time at TFL. It is one of my quests to dine at Alinea. I want you to be there in top form when I do. Love and best wishes, Ted

Dear Chef,

As just one of so many folks in the field who have been amazed and inspired by your work, I wish you the best as you meet (and beat, no doubt!) this new challenge. May the mysteries of love and the powers of science work their magic for you, your family and friends in this trying time.

Take comfort in the support and care of your loved ones. You are in my heart, as you are in all who have been touched by your creativity, ambition and generosity of spirit. As we take joy in your success, we pull for you in your time of difficulty.

In hope,

MK

Chef G,

Though I do not know you and have not been to Alinea, I have read about your career for awhile now. You and others like you, have inspired me to be more creative in the kitchen. I know that as a home chef I will never cook to the extremes that you do, but if I can take just a hint here and there to bolster my creativity and maybe wow a dinner guest or two I am happy.

My thoughts, are with you and your family.

Keep cookin' my man.
