By introducing a ticketed dining practice at Next, Chef Grant Achatz and his business partner Nick Kokonas simultaneously managed to opposition the inconveniences of a traditional phone reservations model and to embrace the inkling of restaurant as theater. Among the pluses: they don't have to pay people to pick up phones and say "no" all day, nor do they have to vexation that a party might not show for their reservation, since it's all paid for in advance.

But getting one of those tickets is no feel put down feat. To give you an idea, when Kokonas announced an on-sale date for their substitute three-month menu cycle, "Tour of Thailand," the site crashed when tickets went get along .

How to get a reservation: Most likely, you'll have to follow the restaurant's Facebook, which Kokonas manages, to see when a locale will go on sale or to get wind of randomly released tickets. A number of same-day tables are made accessible throughout the season, but once their elBulli menu debuts next month, there'll only be one of those per night, auctioned off for contribution. If none of that works, you can stop in for some drinks at The Aviary, their bar next door, and let them know that you're interested in dining at Next; they'll try to billet you.
