Grant Achatz's Molecular Gastronomy

In this industry, you can either settle for less or strive to be better. In Achatz’s case, he pushed himself to do more and the end results were outstanding. From working for his parents restaurant, to the opening of his first restaurant, he never doubted himself. Grant Achatz, is the only American chef to master the art of Molecular Gastronomy. People sought after progressive cuisine to at least experience it once. This family man and cancer survivor is a prime example of heroism.
With knowledge of molecular gastronomy, there’s some weight to his name. Being able to take foods and give them new tastes and textures, is what gave his cuisine's popularity. Molecular gastronomy is seen as “manipulating” the ingredients, instead of cooking them.
