That comic about Alinea? It scares me... SMOKE PILLOW.

That smoke pillow was SCARY. They set it down a few minutes before the food, and I was like, "um, do I eat this? What... what's burning?"

the meal sounds fun... but i think a 13 course meal would drive me nuts... i guess i wouldn't have the patience for it... but if i was there with someone really special, i think i could do it.

Technically, it's not a smoke pillow, it's a VAPOR pillow. Alinea uses the Volcano Vaporizer http://www.storz-bickel.com to gently heat herbs to release the aroma without burning.
Perhaps the the dilated pupils were from the awesome vapors coming from the pillow?!
