At This New Boston Restaurant, The Meals Are Prepared By Robots

Forget about the stereotype of the short-fused chef barking orders to a team of frazzled cooks. At Spyce Food Co., the robot kitchen is wired to achieve culinary perfection without making much of a peep or breaking a sweat. The fast-casual, yet futuristic restaurant, which opened its doors in Boston's Downtown crossing Thursday, is the robotic brainchild of four MIT grads and a Michelin-starred chef. The menu consists of seven bowl-style options including Indian, Latin, and Thai -- all "internationally-inspired and vegetable-centric," according Spyce CEO and cofounder Michael Farid. Meat, fish, and vegan options are all available.
