Thanks for the links, Homaru! What can we expect to see? What are you going for with these shows?

[Lisa Shock]

I've been excited about the show since the ads started airing. I'm glad that you're proud of it, we've seen a lot of recent food shows where the producers guided content to personal conflict rather than exploring the potential in the food.

[inventolux]

Would you believe me that in one episode I actually demonstrate how we can solve world hunger? It has taken me personally over 4 years of research and development and almost everything I have. We demonstrate this now on www.disruptivefood.com - there is a newsclip of us filming the show and during filming NBC 5 Chicago paid us a surprise visit. Check it out!

It uses a product that is all natural, organic, non GMO, can be grown as a houseplant, would eliminate food miles all together and would essentially turn the weeds in your front lawn (that are safe to eat that you have never considered eating) into your next meal.

I know, its a pretty big claim, but thats what you get when you give a bunch of highly driven wacky chefs the resources to create massive positive change. On my first post on Egullet which is up on www.disruptivefood.com - I state that "I can't wait to serve all of you. You all breathe new hope into tomorrows gastronomers. So welcome to our little corner in the universe." I wasn't kidding, my goal is to feed everyone. Including those that are unable to afford the luxury to be in the modern world of technology.

We will demonstrate irrefutably that science and food not only go together but it can and will solve our largest food problems. Very proud of my team for seeing it through over the years. Now check out the really cool stuff on www.disruptivefood.com

Lastly, hopefully I can return the massive favor Egullet has given me over the years to help me get to this point, but for now I will simply say - enjoy the show, it's ripple effects will be lasting.

Respectfully,

Omar

Saw the previews for this show when I was watching Planet Green at my boyfriend's house on Saturday night. Unfortunately I don't get this channel so I will have to make do with going over there for now (:

Planet Green keeps getting better and better so I seriously need to think about switching cable providers.

[coquus]

Great show. I liked the format you use, and was happy that you gave us two shows. Keep them coming. Planet Green rocks!

[inventolux]

Hope some you had the chance to watch the show. Every episode gets more involved (and funny) with issues around foo. No fatalism, just optimism and solving problems. Here is a video we shot with an unusual challenge from The Chicago Tribune.

This is a simple little sizzle reel from our friends at Planet Green.

[inventolux]

Last thing - there is an episode coming up where we actually demonstrate how to solve world hunger. Been keeping the lid tight and prepping the "market" for this for a long time now. That time is coming up... now for a video from our friends at NBC 5 Chicago:

Congratulations on an excellent debut, Chef. This is going to be fun to follow.

[Doodad]

That was very good and interesting. As a fan of these techniques, I did appreciate that you showed the success as well as failures in the process. My favorites are the things that look like one thing but are not, such as the "sushi" desert. The folks in the grocery store were great.

[MattyC]

Been so excited about the show, but unfortunately it just had to air right after I moved and don't have cable, so I have to hear about it from friends lol

Great work though from the looks of it, I watch what clips I can, seems like such a great show. Congrats with everything Chef.

[KCWilkinson]

I think a kid I went to culinary school with works for you. Saw him on an episode as a waiter. He's easy to pick out b/c he always has enormous glasses on.

[llc45]

congrats on the show. I have been watching the series and now learn you are on egullet.

I did not see the episode that is featured in the opening theme. I thought I had seen them all since I DVR them.

But, what is the cigar and ashes item that is shown in the opening?

[scubadoo97]

I saw an out take short clip on the cigar. I can't remember exactly but it's a Cuban sandwich; roast pork made into like a puree rolled around flattened bread and then wrapped in a leaf. I can't remmeber if it was kale or something similar.

[Reignking]

I saw this on OnDemand (Comcast) as I was flipping around, but didn't know what it was. I'll have to check it out.

This is a project I have been working on for the last 5 years. It is and will be the standard in fighting world hunger, eliminating sugar from the food chain and helping Chemo patients taste food again. What happens when we eliminate sugar, sugar additives and sugar substitutes? Health Insurance rates drop, heart disease drops, diabetics don't have a risk of blindness and we create a more stable green economy. Let the games begin!!
