The Diary of a Hotel Addict

I decided to catch up with some sleeps after breakfast; and after a good couple of hours in the fully flat bed (with real mattress), I was woken up with the aroma of coffee. It's time for lunch!
It was part of my on-board ritual during the food service to watch food show by celebrity chefs on the TV to enhance (and elevate) the whole dining experience (I watched Heston Blumenthal on board SQ and Emirates First Class before; Gordon Ramsay at Masterchef onboard CX First).
This time, I have chosen a very special documentary called Spinning Plates, which focuses on the daily life of 3 different chefs, including the one and only Chef Grant Achatz from the cutting-edge, 3 Michelin Alinea in Chicago.
Chef Achatz started his career by working at the kitchen of one of the world's most influential living chefs of our time, Thomas Keller. This experience has profoundly changed his life as it carved a path to superstardom with his own restaurant. With much of enthusiasm and hard work, Chef Achatz continues to battle in the kitchen as the best chef in the world amidst his own battle with tongue cancer. Despite all the ordeal, his Alinea Restaurant achieved a remarkable 3 Michelin star in Chicago, beating the legendary Charlie Trotter. In fact, Alinea continued to rise and consistently ranked in the Top Ten of the annual S. Pellegrino's World's 50 Best Restaurants. It was an amazing documentary, a perfect company to my delectable lunch.
Shown here on the TV screen is Chef Achatz with his former mentor, Thomas Keller.
