Watch Alinea Documentary Subject's Animated Achatz in New Next Video

For their latest teaser video, the team behind Next and Alinea recruited Pixar and ILM employees to help out—who are also the subjects of the documentary and book about a home cook's five-year journey to cook every dish in the Alinea cookbook.

The result is a lighthearted animation to promote the next Next iteration, Paris Bistro, which begins on January 9 and for which the first three weeks of tickets went on sale today. Check out the video below, which features animated versions of Grant Achatz, Nick Kokonas and Dave Beran and was made in collaboration with Allen and Sarah Hemberger.
