If you’re like me, you’ve done the smell test on that week old ground beef to make sure it hasn’t spoiled. And if you’re also like me, there’s always a nagging doubt about the accuracy of old-school sniff tests, especially when the downside of rotten meat is such…um…high steaks (sorry not sorry). Lucky for us, in…

If you spend even a little time in Los Angeles, there’s a 99.9999 percent chance you’ve been stuck on the freeway between meetings and desperately in need of a snack or some lip balm. That’s good news for Cargo, whose in-car commerce platform just rolled into the City of Angels, where it’s available in rideshare…

Imagine it’s 2031 and you’ve sat down for dinner with your family. It’s middle of the week so tonight’s meal is nothing too ambitious, mac and cheese or fajitas. As is the usual routine, you catch up with the family and share a few laughs until the meal is finally served, at which point everyone…

When Jay Holzer, the then-head of global production and development for Tastemade spoke at our Smart Kitchen Summit last year, he commented on how food-based content had moved from utility (learning how to make something) to entertainment (enjoying watching something get made).

Seltzer: mix it into a cocktail, use it as a booze replacement, or you just drink it because all your friends are doing it. There’s no denying the bubbly beverage’s presence in the market. As a drink category, it’s estimated to be worth $1.8 billion. La Croix, meanwhile, has been called a commercial phenomenon. But…

As with ballparks, food is a crucial part of the entertainment at theme parks, whether it’s sampling Butterbeer at Harry Potter World or Cheese on a Stick at Cedar Point. As a kind of theme park enthusiast (aka nerd), I’ve eaten my way through many over the years and have always encountered the same problem:…

Facebook was issued a new patent today outlining a system that would allow users to access and control networked devices in the home through their mobile app and enable the social network to serve up ads based on the contents of a person’s fridge or other data gathered from inside the home.

We at The Spoon have long been fans of Ashlee Clark Thompson, Associate Editor at CNet and hilarious twitter poster. (You may have seen her on stage at last year’s Smart Kitchen Summit talking about the future of food.) Like us, Thompson is fascinated by the smart kitchen market. “The kitchen has become the center of the home,”…

Nathan Myhrvold is the definition of modern Renaissance man. Equal parts mad scientist, gastronomy pioneer and patent troll, the former Microsoft CTO and driving force behind the seminal Modernist Cuisine books is an indisputable polymath that is nothing if not prolific when it comes to exploring new ideas around how to make food. So, when…

At the age of 19, Christian Lane became the youngest person to ever pitch for investment on British TV’s Dragons’ Den, on which he won an investment from Dragon Theo Paphitis. Back then, Lane was pitching a foldable stationary product called Foldio, but nowadays he’s the CEO of a company building products to make the…

It’s hard to get amped about the food options inside an office building. Unless you work for a Google-like company and get subsidized or free meals, you’re probably stuck with vending machines. And we all know Fig Newtons do not a healthy lunch make. Byte Foods, founded in 2015 by husband-wife team Lee and Megan…

If you’re like me, right now you have a pot of thyme (or rosemary, or basil) clinging to life on your windowsill. No matter how much I water it or how carefully I place it in the sunshine, I cannot keep plants alive—even simple indoor ones like herbs. This is a huge bummer because, while I…
