In a nondescript hotel ballroom last month at the South by Southwest Interactive festival, Andras Forgacs offered a rare glimpse at the sci-fi future of food.


Before an audience of tech-industry types, Forgacs produced a plate of small pink wafers — “steak chips,” he called them — and invited people up for a taste.

One taster’s verdict on this Frankenmeat? Not bad, actually.
