The kitchen has lagged behind other rooms in the home in the move towards digital service platforms, but that is starting to change. One of the companies at the forefront in building a digital food and cooking platform is Innit. In this conversation, Mike catches up with Kevin Brown, the CEO of Innit, on the great digital kitchen transformation and what Innit is doing to build a digital platform for food and cooking. via Knit

This is a podcast where Mike professes his love...for cereal. After breaking himself free of the morning cereal habit years ago, Mike decides to try Magic Spoon, a new high-protein low carb cereal that sells only through a direct-to-consumer model. This cereal, which tastes like the sugar cereal of our (and maybe your) childhoods, has been on backorder and out of stock despite an eye-popping price point of $10 per 7 ounce box. As always, check out The Spoon at www.thespoon.tech for more news and analysis (and the occasional cereal review). via Knit

On the podcast are Michael Wolf, Catherine Lamb, Chris Albrecht and Jenn Marston. via Knit

As you might expect, working a robot into the busy back of house of a fast food restaurant isn't as easy as just setting it in front of the grill and plugging it in. Nope, restaurants are a complicated mix of workflows, equipment and yes, people, so automating a part of the process with robotics requires planning. For this podcast we talk with some of the folks working on the leading edge of restaurant robotics, including Shawn Lange of Lab2Fab (a division of Middleby) and David Zito of Miso Robotics (the company behind Flippy, the burger flipping robot). **Important Note** - We are going to change the name of this podcast to The Food Tech Show from The Spoon. Why? Because we talk about lots of things in addition to the connected kitchen (though we still talk about that a whole bunch) and thought the name should reflect the wide set of topics. You won't have to change a thing - just stay subscribed and keep an eye out for our new podcast logo with the new name next week! via Knit

Our daily work here at The Spoon includes a lot of chats with food innovators bringing their new tech and ideas to market and in the process changing the way we eat. In fact, we get so much good intel from these conversations we decided it's time to open the dialogue and invite our readers to participate in what we are calling our FoodTech Firesides. Our first fireside was all about foodtech accelerators, and we had a great conversation with leaders of two of the most interesting accelerators out there: Food-X and WeWork Food Labs. This is a recording from our first live fireside. The guests for this first fireside were Tessa Price, the Manager of WeWork Food Labs, and Peter Bodenheimer, the Program Director of Food-X. We want to thank our sponsor for this FoodTech Fireside, Cloutier Arnold Ortega. You can find out more about them at www.CAOTeam.com Enjoy the podcast! via Knit
