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!
Seeking Food Innovations (and Giving Out Prizes!)
Can adding food flavors and smells to live theater make it feel more real? We go behind the scenes of a new production of the musical "Sweeney Todd" to find out.
Can Mandy Naglich become the 20th Master Cicerone on the planet?
We feast on Philly's most iconic foods, then bring samples to a scientist to find out what makes greasy treats like cheesesteak and scrapple so irresistible.
