It was recently brought to my attention that German people really love Pringles. While hanging out with a friend’s family who was visiting from Berlin, I was amazed to discover this was the only kind of chip they would eat. When I asked them if they wanted to have some Ruffles, they only squinted at me and shook their heads, simultaneously rejecting my offer and making me feel weirdly stupid about my choice of snack. My friend explained to me that the idea of Pringles appealed to his relatives’ German sense of uniformity and order - “Look! All chips stacked in line! Not a single centimetre wasted!”- Uncle Fritz explained to me. Looking down at my now-crappy bag of Ruffles, I was ashamed to realize just how much chip space had, in fact, been wasted. Centimetres…

With an attitude like that, it only makes sense that the Germans would eventually apply this love of efficiency to their dining experiences by getting rid of the one thing that really didn’t need to be there at all: People. Welcome to ‘s Baggers in Nuremburg, Germany, the world’s first fully automated restaurant.

The Japanese are such huge fans of baseball that it only makes sense they should be huge fans of hotdogs as well. But how's a regular old American hotdog supposed to compete in a Japanese stadium where the traditional peanuts and crackerjacks combo gets glossed over in favor of breaded pork with curry and rice? Noriki Tamura and his Vancouver based eatery Japadog are looking to one day give hotdogs a fighting chance in Japan. And the best part? Unlike every piece of technology to come out in the last thirty years, we beat Japan to the punch on this one.

This swanky drink dates back to a time when wise noble men sat around discussing topics of the enlightened world. Originally, Pernod, known for its high alcoholic content and its ability to bring on wild hallucinations, was popular among the elitists. It's really no wonder why everyone was so "enlightened" during the bohemian era!
