Have you ever had a conversation with a stranger, and felt as if you've known this person your entire life? Are there rock stars and actors you feel a closeness to, especially when they are interviewed? Do certain politicians communicate with you better than others? Not just what they stand for, but as personalities? Is there some art you prefer? Do you prefer Claude Monet to Robert Rauschenberg? Why? When you meet a doctor or lawyer for the first time, do you feel a chemistry with certain one

Two ingeniously inventive chefs play with their food and show us new ways of approaching foods that we eat, which can have far reaching applications. So much fun. Take a look!
