From the World Food Championships: A Journey with Chef Rubber
Get ready to be amazed as we venture into the fragrant world of Chef Rubber with their marketing guru, Maddie. Promising a sensory spectacle, this episode is a feast for the eyes, nose, and mind. Chef Rubber's collection of over 3,000 products, ranging from color additives to food-grade silicone molds, is sure to blow your culinary mind. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of their industry-friendly product names such as "rim jobs" and "blood orange is my safe word," and even their disco fluffers that add flavor and scent to cocktails. Maddie shares how these unique products can heighten a diner's experience and leave a lasting impression.
Brace yourselves for a spirited chat about the rising trend of mocktails, and the magic of the placebo effect in creating a unique sensory experience. We also uncover the process of developing new culinary products. But, it doesn't stop there! We mull over the use of bourbon in cooking, and the tantalizing idea of incorporating our podcast logo into Chef Rubber's innovative dishes. A potential collaboration between our podcast and Chef Rubber might be on the horizon. So, if you're ready for a roller-coaster ride full of culinary surprises, humour, insights and maybe even a peek into a farmer tasting menu, this episode is just for you! Prepare to laugh, learn, and get an irresistible urge to experiment in the kitchen.
