The most interesting thing in tech: what's the best way to combine science and culinary delight? The restaurant Alchemist keeps a wall of different flavors and tastes that also serves as a place to incubate experiments. My favorite that they showed: a test to see whether the outer shells of plants---like spinach---can serve as vessels in which cow tissue can grow. If it works, you could use spinach to help grow a steak. | Nicholas Thompson
