Lazy Sunday: Gachatz Style

So, the full blog entry for my Easter trip to Alinea is to come, but in the meantime, whet your appetite on this piece of hip-hop excellence. It's Lazy Sunday... Alinea style. Lyrics by Amanda Dunlap.

Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon.
Call Gachatz just to see how he’s doin’.
Hello?
What up, Grant?
Yo foodies, what’s crackin’?
You thinking what I’m thinkin?
ALINEA.
Man, it’s happenin’.
It's the only answer, no substitute for another.
Goin' down to 1723 Halsted, brother.
No doubt that place has got the bombest gastronomy.
Got me going down faster than the wack economy.
Two, no six, no twelve, TWO DOZEN.
I told you that I’m crazy for these courses, cousin.
Yo, where’s the first course?
Garnished roes, dude.
Then hit the fois gras, it's my favorite food.
I prefer Pork Belly.
That’s a good one, too.
Sweet Potato is the best.
True that.
DOUBLE TRUE.
Half way through.
Step on it, sucka.
What's that on your spoon?
TRUFFLE EXPLOSION MOTHERFUCKER!
It’s the Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
Yes, the Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
We love those Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
Pass that Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
Yo, check out this popcorn.
The movie theater’s over-priced.
You've got some lobster?
Gonna dress it up nice.
Packet of A-1 looks a little suspicious.
but plus Wagu Beef equals CRAZY DELICIOUS!
I’ll reach in my pocket, pull out some dough.
Guy actin’ like he'd never seen a $10 before.
Don't you know all about the Hamiltons, hon?
Throw some fresh goats milk butter on these HOT CROSSED BUNS.
Roll down to the kitchen.
What's that Gachatz's handlin’?
You can call him The Flame.
From the way he’s lightin’ cinnamon.
Now frozen in our place.
This kitchen is the illest.
Which one of these fresh cooks looks like the skilled-est?
Back through the grey doors, reality is scary.
But the what's in our tummies is light and airy.
Now the next day, normal food seems tragic.
We're floating back down from a dream world of magic with…
the Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
Yes, the Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
We love those Chronic (what?)
Cles of Alinea
Pass that Chronic (what?)
