NYT reports on a chef who works with a design firm to develop crazy technology-like food (printed sushi? edible photos?) for his restaurant.
Assisting Mr. Cantu with what he calls his ' 'Star Wars' stuff' is DeepLabs, a small Chicago product-development and design consultancy. Mr. Cantu meets weekly with the crew of aerospace and mechanical engineers, programmers and product designers at DeepLabs for brainstorming sessions. Ryan Alexander, an industrial graphic designer at DeepLabs, said he and his colleagues at the company, which has designed more conventional products for Motorola and Home Depot, are enthusiastic about Mr. Cantu: "We don't say no," he said.
