Hello goblins and gremlins! We apologize for the hiatus last week but the Neobimbos are back and better than ever. Episode 6 covers the art and theater of molecular gastronomy. Is food in its modernist moment? Is cooking an art or a science? What do Italian futurists, fascism, and cooking all have in common? We have something for everyone - the foodie, Ratatouille diehard, Baudrillardian scholar, and modernist art critic are all represented.
