Acclaimed Chef Massimo Bottura Just Hosted a Dangling Dinner in the Sky
Forget land.
What's better than eating a meal cooked up by the acclaimed chef behind the world's best restaurant? Enjoying his delicious fare... in the sky. Forget land — and forget planes, hot air balloons, or any other form of air-based transport that might've come to mind, too. This dangling dinner straps patrons into an all-in-one kitchen and table, hoists them into the air with a crane, and lets the dining fun begin.
The aptly named Dinner in the Sky has been around since 2006; however, to mark its third year in Mexico, it enlisted Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena to help celebrate. The man behind the first Italian restaurant to be crowned the globe's number one eatery took 88 people 45 metres in the clouds over Teotihuacán to feast on a 90-minute meal on January 4 and 5, with dishes with names like "the crunchy part of the lasagne" and "oops I dropped the lemon cake" on offer.

The concept has popped up, literally, in 45 countries so far, suspending folks over scenic sights in Monaco, Casablanca, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, Venice, Toronto and more for the ultimate meal with a view. The 2017 season will head from Mexico to Brussels, then around the United Kingdom and France, but it doesn't come cheap. Dinner with Bottura set patrons back US$2000 per head.
