I had the great pleasure in being invited to cover the first ever Chemistry Kitchen at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. The stars of the show (besides the food) were Chef Josh Watkins, Sous Chef Saul, and Chemistry professor, Dr. Laude. The evening was fun, exciting, explosive, educational, humorous, and delicious. I've only ever heard Josh say a few words before, but lo and behold, the Chef has got a sense of humor. Pair that with the witty Dr. Laude, and this food loving scientist is very happy. Check out the videos and photographs, and wait in anticipation for the next Chemistry Kitchen.
The first cocktail was a blackberry and dry ice concoction.
Chefs Josh and Chef Saul are playing with "hot tub" salmon. It is really a sous vide.
He's offering up the 120 degree hot tub now that the salmon is done.
Salmon sous vide, shaved fennel salad, olive oil powder, and pistou. Perfectly cooked to 120 degrees and incredibly tender.
Dr. Laude is truly an entertainer.
