I think this is a great panel idea. Many people are becoming more aware of Molecular Gastronomy as done in fancy restaurants. Far fewer realize that there are simple food "hacks" that can be done in the home kitchen to produce delicious results.

This is a super fun geeky topic. Jeff's also a great speaker. He gets my +1. And maybe if we're nice, he'll show off his visualization for recipe ingredients, or better yet, bring yummmmmm samples :)

++ to Gilad's comments. Had the chance to see Jeff in action at FOOEast, and he pretty much kicks ass with presenting this stuff. Through countless late nights and sheer force of will, he's become super knowledgeable on the topic, and think he'll be a perfect change of pace to SXSW.
