  • (upbeat music)

  • - [Blynn] All food starts as science.

  • (whooshing)

  • delicious.

  • I experienced the world through math, logic,

  • and problem solving.

  • - Morning Chef.

  • - Oh!

  • I don't know why

  • but I don't seem to relate

  • to some of my colleagues.

  • - Blynn was raised by a wired monkey covered with cloth.

  • She was part of an experiment at Quendelton University

  • to see if compassionate parenting

  • had an effect on adolescent behavior.

  • (cackling)

  • - Yeah!

  • - Technically,

  • we were never allowed to run an experiment like this.

  • But before we got shut down

  • we discovered the answer.

  • - Your hand feels very good.

  • - It does.

  • (dramatic music)

  • - Truth be told Blynn revolutionized

  • the way we think of food.

  • - Blynn's food turns everything upside down.

  • - [Blynn] New and different are always good.

  • You can't eat some of my food.

  • Even if you tried really hard.

  • (buzzing)

  • that's because I'm not bound by the common

  • expectations that the old guard is.

  • - [Hugh] She said what if soup was hard?

  • What if salad was loud?

  • (crunching)

  • what if you got a bagel with cream cheese

  • but the cream cheese was the bagel

  • and the bagel was the cream cheese?

  • - I mean she really mixed up the adjectives

  • you'd use to describe food.

  • (tinkling music)

  • - What you gotta understand is that

  • no one was doing this at the time,

  • it was the wild west out there.

  • There were no rules.

  • There was no script.

  • We were just flying by the seat of our pants.

  • - When she first started some people

  • scoffed at her for shunning convention.

  • They assumed that anything that

  • was the size of an atom was not a meal.

  • They were clammering,

  • I'm still hungry.

  • Why did I pay for this?

  • Am I gonna die?

  • They were total amateurs at eating food.

  • (soft music)

  • - People didn't understand her.

  • They were even up in arms when she debuted

  • her signature pasta.

  • And that dish was a revelation.

  • It was so fresh,

  • so elegant.

  • She was young

  • but she already knew how to work with pasta.

  • (soft music)

  • - [Frankie] Her pasta rocked the culinary world.

  • It put her on the map.

  • - She was the first to say sure we can eat pasta

  • but what if we eat around pasta?

  • - She was using the negative space of food,

  • I mean, anyone can eat food

  • but to eat not food,

  • now that was an idea.

  • At first people did find Blynn's food

  • alienating.

  • (buzzing)

  • (explosion)

  • And it's all well and good to alienate your customers,

  • that's fine honestly, great.

  • But when she found out premier food critic

  • Mike Gublonix was stopping by,

  • ooh!

  • Anyone would really need to straighten up for him.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Mike Gublonix is the king of eating food.

  • And a good review from him

  • means everything to a chef.

  • - I was feeling nervous about what to serve him

  • and I felt so uninspired.

  • And when I feel uninspired I return to my ingredients.

  • Which is what I call my gadgets.

  • This is to harness the chewed up feeling

  • you get on the roof of your mouth

  • after eating Captain Crunch into a cocktail.

  • This curtails the aging process of milk.

  • This I've only tested once,

  • but it can switch the properties of any human

  • with an apple,

  • temporarily.

  • For just an instant on the tongue

  • you could have the sensation of being an apple.

  • I mean, isn't that cool?

  • Being an apple has to be tasting one, right?

  • - Sure.

  • Yeah.

  • - She literally has the ability

  • to swap the chemical makeup of something.

  • - So of course she thought this was going

  • to impress Gublonix,

  • the king of eating food.

  • (explosion)

  • - I don't know why,

  • but I knew I had to use that machine.

  • I just had to.

  • - She was determined

  • and nothing was gonna stop her.

  • But no one could have seen what happened next.

  • - [Guest] Excuse me, sir?

  • Sir?

  • - [Guest] What happened to this guy?

  • - [Guest] Did he have a stroke?

  • - Did they need to eat it?

  • Did it taste good?

  • How, why, who cares?

  • Do you?

  • Do I?

  • Who's talking?

  • (upbeat music)

  • - It was thrilling.

  • - Thrilling!

  • - The whole thing was dumb.
