PrintGrant Achatz' Cancer Now in Remission
This is a really great update to a story we really didn't like hearing when it broke in late August, but it turns out that Chicago "molecular gastronomist" Grant Achatz (Alinea) has successfully finished his scheduled chemotherapy and has good news. Frank Bruni's got the statement from Achatz on Diner's Journal: "Through the use of a new and rigorous chemotherapy and radiation protocol, they were able achieve a full remission while ensuring that the use of invasive surgery on my tongue was not needed. Onward."
