I photographed Achatz a few years back and made a sarcastic post about the New Yorker article mentioned above. The co-owner of Alinea emailed me the day I made the post, saying it was "funny" (he must have had "alinea" on Google Alert). Made my day!

"Achatz never smoked or drank heavily, but his life style wasn’t exactly healthy. At Trio, he ate poorly, drank ten Diet Cokes a day, and worked long hours, sometimes as many as ninety a week."

Ten Diet Cokes a day!

Fuck.
