The profession of cooking in a 4 star restaurant requires great sacrifice, that includes all of one's would-be spare time. Work days are 15 hours long and demanding both physically and psychologically. The profession of cooking is notorious for destroying relationships, marriages and making it impossible to maintain a personal life. So, over the holidays we take a step back and regroup.

Alinea will be closed this upcoming week for 4 days so that the employees may visit their families, relax, and eat some turkey.

The staff at Alinea wishes the mosaic readers and fans a Happy Thanksgiving.

Excellent! The nature of the profession is exactly the reason I left it behind. I find people who stick with cooking professionally so inspiring/somewhat insane.

What a great thing to do for your employees. Will this be an annual thing? Thanks for posting about it!

Happy Thanksgiving!
