For the last couple of months, Eight Forty-Eight food critic David Hammond has been using more than his palate to experience good dining in Chicago. The series Soundbites has taken you through a journey of the senses. His last stop is Alinea. As you might suspect, controlling sound is a big part of the cooking and dining experience at this restaurant, which many consider one of the finest in the world.
David Hammond is a contributor to Chicago Reader, Chicago Sun-Times and The Local Beet. He is a founding moderator of LTH Forum.com, the Chicago-based culinary chat site.
