Homaro Cantu
Designer/Executive Chef
Cantu Design / Moto Restaurant
Homaro Cantu invented the edible menu. He also founded “the first restaurant on planet Earth to use a class IV laser to cook food," he says with a grin. Cantu is a chef, an entrepreneur, a designer, and the leader in the culinary field of molecular gastronomy. And, in 2006, he captured the cover of Fast Company’s May issue, all by the age of 29. He is the executive chef at his Chicago-based restaurant, Moto, where the dining experience has been described in the NY Times as “dinner theater on your plate’ and “mad scientist meets gourmet chef”. He also owns Cantu Design, a Chicago-based business focused on taking the human dining experience to a new level. As a result, he has 12 patents pending around various food delivery systems. Through a dedicated process of design, and in collaboration with DeepLABS design and engineering experts, Cantu Designs is utilizing his innovative patent pending technology to develop products and services having applications in the following areas: food, housewares, entertainment, advertising and marketing, health and nutrition, pharmaceuticals, aerospace. Cantu Designs' approach to food delivery is unconventional and counter-intuitive. Using a cross-disciplinary perspective and state-of-the art user-centered design principles, Cantu Designs' overall goal is to create and invent new ways to enjoy life.
