I’m closely involved with Norfolk Healthy Produce (the company commercializing the bioengineered Purple Tomato). We would be happy to supply fruit for a dinner :-)

Hello Eric,

Stupendous! Thanks for reaching out! It would be marvelous to get some tomatoes from you. We are unsure exactly when we will be hosting the dinner (and may do multiple rounds). Is there a good email to get in contact with you? Please feel free to reach us at editors@asimov.com

The anti-GMO folks are either ignorant, misinformed, or just sheep. Most of the so-called "proof" of GMO harm comes from anecdotal sources. The "factual" arguments are riddled with errors, cherry picked data, and outright fraud. "Organic" foods are no different in content than the current commercially farmed foods. Indeed, investigative reporting has uncovered immense fraud in organic labeling.

Organic foods are a very profitable market, and many companies have been caught labeling regular commercially grown foods as "organic." Some companies have been caught numerous times.

Very soon, we will have no alternative but to use GMO to adapt to global warming. Evolution works too slowly to help us much. Flaming in 3...2...1...

Where is this place? I can’t find it on Google maps.

Hello Anisha! It doesn't currently exist, but my impetus for writing was wanting it to. I do hope to host some pop-up dinners around this theme and really make it happen. We will announce when those happen.

This is the future of food!

This is an annoying bait and switch -- make it happen, then write about it!

I read the story aloud to my wife last evening (that's my favourite way to practice pronunciation and breath control).

We truly enjoyed the documentary feel, and the idea to throw in the restaurant’s menu as an artifact from the future made it even more immersive.

I hope you will consider writing about wine sometime soon.

In a story I wrote some time ago, my characters were debating over dinner whether cultured meat is as vegetarian as dairy products, since no animal loses its life for someone's pleasure.

Do you think this could become a popular view in the future? Might it help drive mass adoption of cultured meat?
