Hosting a Dinner with Chef Watson

I recently hosted a business dinner to discuss cognitive technologies.  What better way to do this than serve a creation by Chef Watson?  So I gave instructions: this will be a plated dinner, make what you want, BUT you muse serve one course created by Chef Watson, which can be accessed by anyone at https://www.ibmchefwatson.com/.  I was so proud of myself for thinking of this idea, I couldn't contain it.

On the day of the dinner, I was mentioning my proud surprise to a colleague, and was asked "What if the recipe doesn't taste good?"

Ever have one of those moments where you thought you'd thought of everything, but in reality you forgot what might be a fatal flaw?  I became a bit nervous at that moment, to describe it in the least.

When I arrived early to set up materials for dinner, this is what greeted me:

After seeing this I felt a lot better.  After eating this below, I even felt better than that.


Chef Watson eats data, not food, so my concern was valid.  But I'm reminded that there are correlations in data I still haven't found and are waiting to be explored.  We live in exciting times for people that love data.

Now I'm wondering when the Watson App for working off Chef Watson creations will be available on Bluemix?
