When La Fisheria chef Aquiles Chavez banned children at his restaurant after 7 p.m., the story went viral. Now Chicago chef Grant Achatz is putting the issue back in the spotlight by tweeting that a young, crying child recently visited his pricey and world-famous restaurant Aliena. The Houston Chronicle's Syd Kearney discusses the issue and asks locals to chime in. "So what say you, Houston, should fine dining restaurants ban children? Or, perhaps, they should designate family dining rooms." [Houston Chronicle]
