Sushi Prepared on a Printer

Ant writes " The New York Times talks about Homaro Cantu's maki, it looks a lot like the sushi rolls served at other upscale restaurants: pristine, coin-size disks stuffed with lumps of fresh crab and rice and wrapped in shiny nori. They also taste like sushi, deliciously fishy and seaweedy. But the sushi made by Mr. Cantu, the 28-year-old executive chef at Moto in Chicago, often contains no fish. It is prepared on a Canon i560 inkjet printer rather than a cutting board. He prints images of maki on pieces of edible paper made of soybeans and cornstarch, using organic, food-based inks of his own concoction. Then, Homaro flavors the back of the paper, which is ordinarily used to put images onto birthday cakes, with powdered soy and seaweed seasonings."

Mmm

[ikkonoishi]

Try the soylent green. Its delicious.

[Corporate Drone]

In Soviet Russia, the sushi prints...

[Fr05t]

But where is the eatable electronic ink paper! Ohh I need to go print a TPS report then feed it to my boss - bbl.

[Anonymous Coward]

It tastes like toner.

Thanks

Yeah, all obes people should be forced to eat their words!

Is this low carb?

[Anonymous Coward]

Does he also print the nutritional information on the back as well?

There's always ...

[SpooForBrains]

... there's something fishy going on here ...

Tesco Sushi

[Vollernurd]

Holy crap! I knew that they made it out of old paper. Tesco (UK's WalMart) make everything taste of paper. Now I know.

[the_unknown_soldier]

Paging Mr. Tuttle ... er ...Buttle

[DrTrogg]

Let's see - vast drone-like armies of workers ... corporate marauders ... increased terrorism ... now pictures of food instead of food. If DeNiro shows up to fix my toilet I'm moving to Canada.

Anyone sharing a desk with their neighbor in the next cube yet?

Good thing it wasn't an HP printer

[defishguy]

If it were an HP printer when the seaweed part of the cartridge expired youd have to replace the WHOLE cartridge and it would cost $5000 dollars, and expire when there is still 15% sushi left!

Yeah, go on, applaud the criminal

[Wylfing]

This guy should so obviously go to jail. I mean, you can't tell me those printer cartidges are authorized by the printer's manufacturer. This kind of wanton breaking of the DMCA has to stop if we want companies to continue making the high quality printers we've come to expect. Now someone's family at Lexmark is going to go hungry because Mr. Cantu stole their IP.

Re:Paging Mr. Tuttle ... er ...Buttle

[Anita Coney]

No, if DeNiro showed up, he'd already be in Brazil.

Re:But where?

[Kredal]

The answer is: This is the word the grandparent poster is unable to spell.

Re:But where?

[tomhudson]

I'll take

edible for $500, Trebek.

The answer is, "Smells like sushi, tastes like chicken"

"What is edible sushi underwear."

Why?

[pragone]

Why would some one want to eat food that isn't food? I mean... I'll buy that if I can pay it with printed money!

I call bs. You are posting on /. hence you can't have a girlfriend let alone a hot asian one.

Next you are going to say she likes watching Anime and playing on the PS2. :-P

Re:Mmm

[Eric Giguere]

Oh, I dunno, you might be able to grill a steak on this printer [pcworld.com].

Re:Pr0n

[liquidsin]

good news: You could actually print a picture of Natalie Portman that tastes like hot grits.

bad news: someone could slip a pic of the goatse guy into your sandwich when you're not looking.

[Anonymous Coward]

Yeah, in the same way the kittens = poptarts.

Re:so it will be finally possible to say..

[cyngus]

Actually, now we can say,

"My dad ate my homework as a late night snack"
OR
"I ate my homework, it tasted like an A-."

$240 per person to eat PAPER?!?!

[TrebleJunkie]

And we wonder why people crash planes into our buildings.

Torrent?

[smiley2billion]

So.... Does someone have a torrent link for this? Now all we need is printable beer and we're all set.

Interesting

[millwall]

"We'll be the first restaurant on planet Earth to use a class IV laser to cook food"

Anyone got a link to the planet that already does this?

More artifical flavoring and colors please!

I think by 'hot japanese girlfriend' he meant his computer. Maybe it's overclocked?

Food stamps!

The fine art of sushi takes another hit

[genner]

When willl they learn that sushi is a art form, not to be duplicated by a machiene.

It's all slightly underwhelming

[pandabrand]

I went to Moto in November for my birthday and I have to say it's not as wacky and people make out to be, but it's also a pretty good restaurant. That last statment assumes you don't have a problem paying the same amount for dinner that you would for a mini iPod. I don't do often but, I'm a foodie and I like a challenge. There are plenty things to not like about Moto most revolves around his attempts a 'new' ways to make food. The 'sushi' well it tastes kind of salty, kind of like seaweed (go figure). If I remember correctly it was served after a champagne sorbet or some caviar course which was much better (the basics always works). The overall experiance was good, there are plenty of aother places that I would want to go before I go back, but I definitetly would he is at least trying something new.

If it tastes too bland...

[Sotogonesu]

Tastes a little flat? Just sprinkle some Epson salt on it.

Black Lab Coats?

[hey!]

At Market District newcomer MOTO, the show starts with waitstaff dressed in black lab [akc.org] coats, ...

Dude, somebody call PETA quick!

Since it is

[GnarlyNome]

Counterfit Susi is it Ok to pay with money I ran off on my printer?

Re:Sushi Fishy.

[Rude Turnip]

No thanks, I'm not going to eat anything whose name sounds even *remotely* like "Hot Karl."
