Lab-Cow Terroir

Hot Plate

Should you uninstall your delivery apps? How much would you pay for fake meat? Do you have a sweet tooth? And which YouTube Cooking Channels are worth your time?

Needless to say delivery is part of our lives in a new way during 'corona-times'. Unfortunately the latest moves by delivery app titans seem pretty bad for restaurants, with both fees and discounts docking the restaurants' bottom line in the toughest of times. There's a new player, Tock, which may the best interest of both restaurant and customer in mind (time will tell).

Lab grown meat (or cultured meat) is something we at Hot Plate aren't tremendously enthusiastic about… Let's just say we're keeping open to it, however the Dutch are apparently willing to pay 30% more for it. When household food budgets are already stretched thin, how could this become the new normal?

Do you have a sweet tooth? Some people really do, and some people really don't. New research suggests it might have something to do with the rest of your diet.

Finally, we're excited to share with you some of the best YouTube Cooking Channels, in stark contrast to our Season 2 Episode 2 segment on some terrible online cooking hacks.
