When the Sous-Chef Is an Inkjet:

But the sushi made by Mr. Cantu, the 28-year-old executive chef at Moto in Chicago, often contains no fish. It is prepared on a Canon i560 inkjet printer rather than a cutting board. He prints images of maki on pieces of edible paper made of soybeans and cornstarch, using organic, food-based inks of his own concoction.

All of which would be fine with me, if the accompanying pictures of the ‘sushi’ didn’t make it clear that this stuff is butt-ugly. The items shown feature tiny, icon-sized pictured of sushi, rather than being crafted to resemble sushi itself. The food looks like bits of color-xeroxed menu.

After all, it’s not hard to find a more elegant approach.
