Hack the Palate! How to Set Up a Kitchen Hack Lab

Presented at HOPE Number Six (2006), July 22, 2006, 9 p.m. (60 minutes)

Chefs are a lot like hardware hackers. Both geek out, absorbing the specs of vegetables/technology for the purpose of creating something that nobody else has: innovative food/new machines). So what kind of food comes out of a kitchen that's turned into a hack lab? Something delicious. Something geeky.


Presenters:
