In this edition of Friday Foodie Links, I will post a couple of stories about the future of food.
Esquire recently had an interesting short piece, “What the 21st Century Will Taste Like” on how our eating habits will likely change in the next century. One of the more obvious changes predicted by the article is that our meat-loving ways will not be able to be sustained. Interestingly the piece is written by chef David Chang of Momofuku – an exclusive NYC restaurant known for its meat-focus dishes and inhospitably to Vegetarians.
The second story is about a small grocery in Chicago that is running on a business model usually used for free software products. It’s called Open Produce (1635 E. 55th St.), and they are working on an open source model making all of their data from finances to wholesaling prices available to the public. You can follow their progress on the Open Produce blog.
