Future Food
Planet Green is excited to introduce a brand new show that will change the way you look at food and its relationship with the environment. Meet molecular gastronomists Homaro Cantu and Ben Roche: world renowned chefs, successful restauranteurs, patent-owning mad scientists and celebrated futurists.
These two technology-obsessed chefs are looking for solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental issues from a completely unexpected place-the kitchen. Is it possible to save fuel by taking the delivery driver out of the equation? Download pizza off the internet? Reduce landfill mass by making edible packing peanuts?
Planet Green’s new original series Future Food will redefine the nature of food.
In each episode, Cantu, Roche and the rest of the team at Chicago’s world-famous Moto restaurant are presented with a unique food challenge, and they tap into their gastronomical genius for solutions-with shocking, eye-crossing, and always delicious results. Future Food unveils what goes on inside the lab, letting viewers follow along through the circus of trial and error that is as funny as it is intense.
“I first try to imagine a reality that is positive and then work backwards through scientific reasoning and emotion through food to capture viewers’ attention in order to create more awareness around social responsibility and true sustainability,” said Homaro Cantu. “Oh yah, I like to have one hell of a good time while this all happens.”
Changing the way people think about food is no simple task. It requires extreme focus, cooperation and unbridled creativity, as each week the Future Food team goes to task to reinvent the wheel-and then convince diners to pay money to eat it.
Get excited for the premiere of Future Food starting March, 30th!
