The Alinea Group is a collection of restaurants based in Chicago, owned and operated by Chef Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas. Our restaurants include: Alinea, Next, The Aviary, The Office, Roister, and The St. Clair Supper Club. While each of these have their own distinct personalities, a common thread unites them: our collective desire to provide a high quality of hospitality and a unique, memorable experience to our guests.

Our philosophy for crafting high-end books is much the same.

Our publishing efforts are led by Sarah and Allen Hemberger (FTCNS parents!). The pair joined The Alinea Group in 2016 after having spent much of their careers working as visual effects artists. They have worked on films ranging from Avatar and The Avengers to Inside Out and Finding Dory. The creative expertise they bring from this experience lends itself to books that are uniquely beautiful, created with the utmost attention to detail both inside and out.

Up for bid is The Aviary Collection – a complete collection of cocktail cookbooks from Chicago's award-winning bar, The Aviary. Included in the collection: The Aviary Cocktail Book, The Office Classic Cocktails, The Aviary Summer Cocktails, The Aviary Holiday Cocktails, and Zero: A New Approach to Non-Alcoholic Drinks. For the ultimate beverage enthusiast!
