Major Project?

It seems that something big is going on behind the scenes between Alinea and New York's Eleven Madison Park. The Trib spotted a video today which shows the staff of the two highly-acclaimed restaurants packing their things and heading toward train stations. The project name, 21st Century Limited, is a reference to a passenger train that ran between both cities during the first half of the 20th century. While Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas did confirm to the paper that they are collaborating with EMP, what that entails remains to be seen. Fueling the rumor mill is the fact that Alinea will be closed Oct. 10 through 14 for a private event. Let the speculating begin. [Tribune]
