"Alinea's Black Truffle Explosion is the signature dish that made Grant Achatz famous and it still stops the room. One bite and you understand what kitchen-as-theater means — the hot broth inside the pasta bursts and fills your mouth with truffle steam. The technique required to keep the temperature differential precise through service is extraordinary."
