I just heard the craziest rumor – that Alinea is opening in New York City (and I stress the ‘crazy’ and ‘rumor’). I also just heard that Charlie Trotter signed his Manhattan lease, potentially opening in 2009 (not ‘crazy’ or ‘rumor’). Who knows, maybe 2009 will be the year Chitown…

I’m thrilled to see Chicagoland’s media getting in the Top Chef game with stake outs and spoilers beyond the approved press release intel.
