Comments on: For Chicago chef, it's prepare, print, serve

Known for his edible menus, Homaro Cantu now wants to print ads you can eat, shrink your kitchen tools into one drawer and "green" the restaurant industry.

Expensive but worth it...

Wild timing. We just ate at Moto this week.

It was an incredibly interesting and fun time.
If you're a vegetarian, you can call ahead and they'll accomodate you.

If you're a foodie and are expecting more traditional fare, this may not be your cup of tea.
If you're a techie,and if you're reading this then you must be, then you'll find it interesting.

Also plan on dinner taking a while.
Think of this of edible art.

would I want to go to BK afterwards?

I hate going to an expensive restaurant and walking out hungry. This seems like a great food gag for wealthy Chicagoans. Eating my menu does not sound like a pleasant experience. Anyone else recommend this place?

Well thats one way to never eat at BK again.

We did the 10 course meal.

Was it a lot of food? No. The proportions were enough to get a good chance to enjoy the flavor and texture of the food.

But after 10 courses, you should be ok.

If you want more, there's a 20 course meal, but plan on taking 4 hours to eat.

If you add the selection of wines, you should be full.
(But then again, I don't know how much you eat at a meal.)

If you were to go to BK afterwards, you'll realize just how bland and awful their burgers taste.

With respect to the menu, my guess is that he's using organic inks on rice paper. By itself, not that tasty. But he attaches it to a flatbread that is very tasty. Is it a gimic? sure.

As a restaurant, I would say its a place that you would want to go for only the really *special* occasions.

I recommend the restaurant for what it is. Food as art or entertainment.
