TisF has discovered the fine art of food at Moto.

Chef Homaro Cantu is blazing the way into the new era of postmodern cuisine.   Heralded as one of America's most daring chefs, Cantu pushes the limits of known taste, texture and technique in stunningly futuristic fashion at Moto.A scientist at heart, Cantu is driven by insatiable curiosity and endless possibilities.  The same childhood enthusiasm that drove Cantu to dismantle his father's lawnmower many times over and chomp on five-, ten- and twenty-dollar bills as a young boy still consumes him.  Tagged a "techno chef" and a "real life Willy Wonka", he brushes off these labels and merely refers to himself as a cook when asked.  But calling him a cook only scratches the surface - delve a bit deeper and discover an equally talented and inquisitive chef aiming to shatter the traditional rules of the kitchen by introducing new technologies to his chosen craft. Cantu's goal? To entice 21^st century diners to embrace unimaginable -- for most -- edible creations.
