A couple links I'm behind on, so you may have already heard the great news that chemo has reduced the tumor in Grant Achatz's tongue by 75% and he is set to begin radiation soon. You're still in our thoughts chef.

It's great to see a chef of Grant's caliber sharing his knowledge rather than hoarding it. (See my thoughts on keeping recipes free.)
