Just your average, run-of-the-mill story about an illegal restaurant on a college campus run by two guys who have no experience. I'll be honest - the fact that the term "speakeasy" was used, is 90% of the reason I linked to it.
Wylie Dufresne would probably be in the Mt. Rushmore of molecular gastronomic cooking. His WD-50 is a NY hotspot, and he has just opened up a gastro pub named Alder. Here's a photo diary (taken by him) of the days leading up to the opening, and some of the food offerings.
