A journey from Maillard chemistry to terroir, exploring how culinary depth emerges from simple patterns repeated across scales. We explain why the elusive 'middle-ground' matrix—multi-step breakdown products—must develop slowly, and why industrial shortcuts often miss it. The episode also surveys how regenerative farming and AI-driven modeling are helping us capture flavor as an emergent property of ecosystems and culture.
