Last month we launched a recurring series on food innovations for Slate, entitled "GastroLab." Here's how it works: You, our loyal listeners/readers, submit food innovations that you've come up with or seen around town. We test them, and try to take them to the next level of greatness. The first video, in which we embedded bacon (and other foods) into waffles, was a big success. Now we need more ideas. We're looking for techniques and approaches that seek to find new and better ways to eat. So email us your food innovations, and we may feature your submission on the next GastroLab. If we pick your food innovation for a video, we'll send you a free Sporkful T-shirt!
