Inkjet printer creates real food at Chicago's Moto restaurant

[tedster]

I just watched a bit on the Science Channel about this Chicago restaurant called Moto. They use an inkjet printer and edible paper/ink to create menus that you can actually eat for a preview taste of the dish -- or even to create cartoons of food that they wrap around a maki roll.

Their experimental assortment of courses changes frequently, and includes carbonated food that fizzes in your mouth, hot soup that gives off cold steam, and corkscrew-shaped utensils that contain aromatic herbs. The chef is also working to perfect food that floats above the plate.

I would love to hear more from anyone whose eaten there!

...the sushi made by Mr. Cantu, the 28-year-old executive chef
at Moto in Chicago, often contains no fish. It is prepared on a Canon
i560 inkjet printer rather than a cutting board.

dunno ..but i have always maintained that you need you eyes open at Mc Do to know if you are eating the packaging or the burger :)..

nice idea tho ..if it ever gets here they'll call it nouvelle nouvelle cuisine and charge 50.00 euros a plate for the entre :(..

maybe the worlds thinest pizza for those on a diet?
