This week's episode is about the sci-fi future of food. And the science-fictional NOW of food. Why are we eating the weird things we're eating? Is the rise of foodie culture culminating in something... much weirder?

Helen Rosner of Eater and Felix Salmon of Fusion join us to talk about the rise of the neo-chain, the arrival of the hipster food venture capitalist, and the frothy intersection of capital, consumption and status in 2015. 

Also: An interview with the chef of the hottest new restaurant... of 2081. (Based on Matt's original piece for Eater; thanks to Emily Fleischaker and Haley Mlotek for reading.)

Thanks, as always, to the delicious Williamsburg Pizza.
