Homaro Cantu + Ben Roche: Cooking as alchemy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- www.ted.com Homaro Cantu and Ben Roche come from Moto, a Chicago restaurant that plays with new ways to cook and eat food. But beyond the fun and flavor-tripping, there's a serious intent: Can we use new food technology for good?

Wonderful. Food and experience I have ever had. RIP

@Nmodest06 If you can control the taste, you can use super health base foods and make them taste like the things we all love to eat. It makes controlling your nutritional needs very easy, you can eat anything and it would all be healthy, if this idea was taken to that level.
damn that guy's shirt is hypnotising me
6 years ago there were fearless fights in the comments section, the idea of the video is astonishing but it didn't go viral!?
Something aint right about his death
Nutritional value? Who the hell cares? Take something high in awesome and add flavor people want to eat! GENIUS.
I will miss u lots cuz. Ur family is so proud of u came for nothing and made it great 4 ur self n ur family. 😞
Everything about this is amazing! I hope this becomes a serious way of preparing food.
Welcome to 2021, Impossible Foods have picked this concept up :D
Somewhere, Ferran Adria quietly smiles and nods in approval.
@hswizzle refined sugar is awesome if you need short term energy. Energy 90+% of the job of food. If you are staving refined sugar will save your life. The problem is we have way to much of it.
Cool video but... how the hell is this still only 480p? I mean COME ON!
Of course. By introducing the select plant into an environment containing Bt-toxin an environmental pressure would be placed upon the plant. Almost all plants would be killed, but eventually - through random mutations and enough time - a mutation will result in an ability to survive Bt-toxin. These plants would they be able to flourish in the associated environment. The issue is that since it's random there is no way to do this in a timely or controlled manner. I hope that answered your question
Food miles are a small contributor to most foods' ecological footprint. Processing is a much larger portion. Even then, a lot of the proportionate food mileage is between the retailer and consumer. This is because of the exponential efficiency that comes with mass transit on a mass scale.
Also, notice the emphasis on fooling the senses, without regard for the nutritional elements gained or lost.
These guys should win the Nobel prize in Chemistry, Peace and Economics all together! :D
Why would somebody not like this?! Why??
@Svedn "Big mac" is an ironic name, because it's a tiny burger.
But i agree, having veggie burgers that actually can pass a double blind test for the real thing experience wise would be a good thing.
Wow, what a mind blowing principle! I love it! Here's to innovation in 2021!
@mindlesstube well you don't eat it immediately after it comes out - you let it warm back up a little but yeah its absolutely fine. Nitrogen is non-toxic and dipping stuff in it is really useful for cooling things to very low temperatures fast
I'm loving the idea of that veggie burger that bleeds and is made from the same ingredients. Where can I get one? For a reasonable price.
@JChua61 That's not the point of these sort of places. You won't eat there every day. It's a treat and the food they serve is an experience. To be more accurate an uncommon, exciting experience.
TURN HD!!! PLS!
@OdeMelody (In addition to other replies) the berries are actually really "growable" indoors, in fact I have my own tree. Pretty amazing stuff.
Homaro Cantu committed suicide on April 14, 2015. Rest in peace.
i've been watching top chef this season, which has two chefs from moto. similar POV!
I agree with you that giving up animal products would greatly improve the efficiency of food production albeit I see no dichotomy between veganism and GMOs.
@OdeMelody not trolling>
well geneticly modified food, mainly vegitation, isn't a bad prospect, say we can make a corn plant that stored more water that it was irrigated with and was immune to all pests and diseases, that would be just as great of an improvement as learning to make anytime of vegitation eatable and palatable. I think both genetic moddification and what i will dub food alchemy is the future of a sustainable locally produced food supply
@NaxNax96 Yeah I wasn't really aware that nitrogen was used for cooking. It's pretty cool.
Reminds me of iRobot, where everything in the eastern region is made out of yeast.
This is really cool, especially since, using these technologies, people can get a more well-rounded diet as opposed to eating what/how they currently eat, but I can't help but say that I'd still love some good ole fashioned chicken and beef and pork haha. This is pretty cool doe
Amazing, I definitely want to eat there.
I'm sharing this!
Don't you guys get it? It's SUCH a good idea for the environment and a revolutionary idea for the world-market. If everyone ate "local" and foods could be morphed to suit their tastes, they'd A)Decrease their carbon footprint. B)Impact the outlook of major corporations C)Change the market of multiple 2nd and 3rd world countries (with some positive and negative effects which depend on each country). I'll elaborate on this if you message me about it. BUT: WHICH CLIMATE DO THE BERRIES GROW IN?
Where do they cook this at??
This is pretty awesome! But still, what about the nutritional value (carbs, protein, vitamins... )? Remains the same?
Right, instead of expressing BT-toxin locally in the parts of a plant we don't consume, we should instead just keep spraying it all over our "organic" crops. BT-toxin has been used as a pesticide since 1920, and because BT-toxin is derived from a natural resource (bacteria) it is perfectly legal to use it on organic crops. But people either don't know this or don't ever bring it up, when they mention how certain plants have been engineered to express BT-toxin in specific localized regions.
Is it safe to eat something dipped in liquid nitrogen?
he didn't say a word about the nutrition value of their innovative dishes. there is a reason why food is food..
thats what 'thinking outside of the box' is.
Yes it showed that there was a thickening of the mucosa in the rats specifically fed the uncooked test crop. The study concluded that this occurred because of a nutritional deficiency that arose from an all-potato diet and then subsequent consumption of a raw potato that was roughly 20% lower in protein, starch, and sugar than the control. No sure if I believe that myself, it seems like a statistical error due to the small sample sizes, but no stunted growth or repressed immune systems were seen
@JChua61 My greatest concern would be adequate protein, obviously this stuff has plenty fiber and other nutrients.
cool stuff, but where is the nutrient value?
@Shyn0h
It's so people can skip the loud intro, not to save time.
I am not sure I buy a lot of this, it seem like a cool idea, but not real practical from the sound of it. If they could show they can take ingredients and make them into foods people like in mass quantities for as much or less then the current food, that would be awesome, but it sounds like the change of the foods flavor and texture is a costly and labor intensiveness process. Though the idea of barriers changing favors is very cool, well it is all very cool.
Ive worked in kitchens for years, they would loose money if they dont charge extravagant prices to compensate for production costs.Novelty restaurant.Dessert nachos? =mind fuck. Sight,taste and smell are all integrated when tasting a dish,they should match in order to get the best results.
This is CRAZY! You can't go around eating the plants around us! We need to import our stuff from far away and keep the plants that surrounds us for decorative purposes! That's much better :)
I see your point here; the current way we get meat is so wasteful and environmentally destructive, which is why I'm very excited for meat to be produced in vitro. Not only is it more cost effective to only grow cells once, instead of multiple times for year(s), but then there is no issue with "fillers" - since the exact desirable cut of meat can be grown.

@Doily131 better than the one they did at TEDx last year.
Ben Roche looks like Norman Reedus.
this is great
@Alpinex105 nitrogen is almost completely inert, basically it wont react with anything.
2:20 Colonel Sanders?
What is your evidence that it is not a peer-reviewed study?
And I'm sure you're familiar with the Lancet study: Effect of diets containing genetically modified potatoes expressing Galanthus nivalis lectin on rat small intestine. And thatPusztai was given a whistleblower award from the Federation of German Scientists, in 2005.
Why not?
lol imagine someone puts a real cigar on someone's plate
@hswizzle Hey! yay! i realised in retrospect! great job you guys would love to try out the dishes one day!
Ok so I understand they are able to change the FLAVOR, but what about the nutritional value of the dish?
Where's the videos?! Sounded like a friggin' advertisement without some results!
"Genetic engineering is the process of breaking the natural boundaries that exist between species to produce new life forms that will produce a variety of desired traits. For example, genes from salmon can be spliced into tomatoes to make them more resistant to cold weather, thereby yielding a larger crop when the weather is less than favorable."
This is NOT gene splicing.
That guy on the right looks like the crossbow dude from The Walking Dead
awesome
No thanks,
I came here to eat.
I'm not bored out of my life - I'm just hungry.
And, do you mean this peer-reviewed study (Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize), which found that:
"Females developed large mammary tumors almost always more often than and before controls, the pituitary was the second most disabled organ; the sex hormonal balance was modified by GMO and Roundup treatments. In treated males, liver congestions and necrosis were 2.5-5.5 times higher."
A dish within a dish? We have to go deeper
probably been pointed out but apart from a cool mind fuck once a month or whatever, eating watermelon tuna instead of actual tuna would (and applying the idea in last part with hay and crab apples) lead to a horribly misbalanced nutritional state.
not hating, this is the coolest TedTalk I've seen in a while.
I would recommend you read primary literature on GMOs, rather than biased non-peer reviewed sources.
All crops are genetically modified. Gene splicing is a method of genetic modification, along with the old methods of selective and cross breeding. Genetic modification is actually what separated humans from the other species, when we started positively selecting plants that showed phenotypes that were advantageous to our diet and health. Gene splicing is just a much more effective method.
way too cool!
@hswizzle I agree with this completely! *nods* Permaculture has been used for millennia. From the 'three sister's' method in Mexico pre-colonialism to new forms created when the methodology was created in the 1970's. You should see some of the new permaculture ideas in India and South America, they're AWESOME!
Haha these guys crack me up, they charge a watermelon for the price of sashimi tuna, and people still love them... genius...
@GothicPotato2 thanks bro, i can't be bothered finding my comment, but i think she went totally off topic too.
the video contains all you need to know... Chicago
hey the cigar! the dude on topchef riped that dish!
@MrIntelligenius
Why not? all food contains chemicals, sugars, fats, proteins water etc are all chemicals.
@Alpinex105 It's been used in the food industry for decades. If memory serves some kinds of confectionery can't be made without flash freezing the ingredients using liquid nitrogen before they fall apart. It's cool :p
Also, the air we breathe is 80% nitrogen blah blah everyone knows this.
Doesn't the nitrogen fuck up the food?
RIP...
If i were assigned to look for edible plants I'd bring in shrooms.
@geebus80 please elaborate.
@skatejam7 Shouldn't we be trying to reduce the world's consumption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)? This new technology has the potential to impact that particular market... even if the momentum of GMOs is rather out of hand. I think that part of the point is bringing farming back to a sustainable and local level, without technologies that monopolize what people eat.
Oh, trolls - they always get me going. XD
...so, was the company overleveraged or what?
3:20 He sooooo wanted to say mind fuck...
Soylent Green?
culinary inception!
@srgwarcock Biodiversity helps fend off pests and diseases more so than genetic modification. Genetic modification has proven to create single strains of vegetation that may be resistant to disease and fend off pests, but often the pests become immune to the single strain. Likewise if the strain does become diseased, it is harder to stop it from growing due to the resistance bred into it by genetic modification. Look up "Round Up Ready" - all of this has been proven in canola.
Sure you nailed it. There is a conspiracy by Monsanto to pay millions of people in the world who have ever pretended to be for GMOs. And it works 100% of the time, with none of them ever admitting that they have been bought and even while they spend all this money to buy everyone Monsento still manages to be a profitable enterprise.
Now could you please specify precisely what in his argument do you disagree with and why.
I don't think they're trying to let all people eat hay and set them on a non-nutritious diet. People want to eat all sorts of things from all around the world that is being overused yet close to home there is more then enough nutritious food. In my opinion they want to let people eat those close to home nutritious products and make them taste like that food from somewhere else.
Liquid nitrogen here and there,
doesn’t creating that also reaquire a lot! of energy?
I wonder how the result of energy consumption compares.
Ever herd of the word "Agrobacterium"?
needs more crem fresh
You don't eat candy for nutritional value either, and they are not good for you. They can make grass taste like candy. Why people upset about nutritional value? you don't always eat for nutritional value.
@0:25
Wanna taste it If I was in the audience 😂🤣🥰🤍 🤤 😋
I like food :)
under 300 WOOO
To skip the cow in making beef might be one of the solutions to Alot of starvation and poverty i think!
@OdeMelody GMO's are what will save the world. Our population size keeps increasing, which causes a decrease in available land to produce food. We literally have no choice but to move to GMO's, but this isn't a bad thing. GMO's are more nutritious, last longer, have larger fruit/bodies, and use less or zero pestisizeds. All crops are technically GMO's, the difference is before it was does with selective breeding (ie seed selection of crops) but now we can actually make the plants do what we need
@GothicPotato2 Would you like to explain to me how genes from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis would get inside GMO plants by selective breeding?
neato!
wow
People don't like change that's how someone will find this apaling
