PopTech's crowd was treated to a glamorous, 20 course dinner (in video form] guided by renowned molecular gastronomist Homaro Cantu, executive chef of Chicago's famous Moto Restaurant.
Cantu has filed multiple applications for patents on his techniques, and claims one day the technology may be used to deliver healthy, 2000-calorie inkjet printable meals to help eliminate global hunger, with each portion delivering ingredients to cover nutritional, medical and dental needs. Canto talks about his vision in this podcast via Odeo.
Cantu provided each participant in the audience at the Camden Opera House a plastic bag containing a paperthin rectangle imprinted with the Pop!Tech Logo and a copyright/patent pending legal statement barring reproduction [no pictures here!].
He said it was cotton candy. It smelled like it, and since smell is 70% or more of taste, one presumes it was.
The Pop!Tech icon - similar to that which was used in Cantu's 'paper' food rectangle....except this one is not red and is simply that flashed on the screen behind the stage during Pop!Tech2006.
