CHICAGO — Chef Grant Achatz's Next Restaurant is currently serving its Trio menu, and Chicago Tribune critic Phil Vettel has fallen in love with it. Though many diners who ate at Trio in the early aughts will enjoy how well it replicates dishes from the past, Vettel says that for those who never at at Trio "the menu is fascinating enough, and delicious enough, to stand on its own."
