Chef Canacasco has spent the past nine years within The Alinea Group, helping shape some of its most distinctive restaurants. Starting at Alinea in 2017, he has since led the kitchens at Roister, FIRE, and the group's Big Sky, Montana, residency.

This residency is a chance for Chef Adair to lead something deeply personal, a concept shaped by his Mexican heritage, his family's roots in Mexico City, Hidalgo, and Guerrero, and his life and career in Chicago.

His earliest food memories are tied to family, land, and ritual. Those memories are the foundation of the cooking here, a cuisine that honors the ingredients, techniques, and traditions of Mexico and carries them forward through his own perspective and years at The Alinea Group.

Rather than reinterpret heritage from a distance, the cooking grows from inside it, exploring how memory, craft, and contemporary thinking can share one table. The result is rooted in tradition and open to where it might go, faithful to its origins yet curious about how to challenge them.
