Grand Chefs Gala Friday, I didn't let it go to waste.
I was lucky enough to sit next to
Dave Beran, the chef de cuisine of
Alinea as well as chef of the upcoming and highly anticipated
Next restaurant in the Warehouse District.
Beran was pretty tight-lipped on Next's opening date, yet very eager to share some of his favorite local dining destinations when he gets a rare night off.
