Last night was the first night for part two of 21st Century Limited, the ambitious project whereby New York's Eleven Madison Park and Alinea trade places. In September, Alinea completed a week at EMP; Now, it's time for EMP's run in Chicago. The $495-per-plate dinner runs through Sunday, but is completely sold out. So TOC photographer Erica Gannett snagged a spot in the kitchen so she could show everyone the entire meal, course by course.
