00:00The rise of the robots is upon us. We're seeing DoorDash do it, and now even restaurateurs are

00:04getting into the game. Last week, Romaine Bosick and Scarlet Fu spoke with a legend in the space,

00:10Michael Chow, now known as M, about his latest venture bringing robots into the restaurant

00:15world after 60 years of running the internationally renowned Mr. Chow. Here's part of that conversation.

00:22Right now, I'm going to my second revolution, as it were. So basically, I inferenced all the

00:28fine dining throughout the globe. So even today, you go to any fine dining anywhere,

00:34you will find Mr. Chow's initial concept DNA there. So 60 years later, I'm right now,

00:42I'm promoting, not promoting, I'm visualizing. It's called Mr. Chow now. And my prediction of vision

00:52in another 50, within another 50 years, no human going to cook anymore.

00:57Ever?

00:57Ever, so to speak. Let me give you that one. So like all Chinese things are great, you take

01:04the Chinese doctor, they put three finger on your pulse, they know everything about you,

01:10your liver, your whole thing. So now the Western technology can do the same thing, similar thing.

01:16And so that would be a machine. And another machine comes along and say, oh, what you need

01:21to eat is this thing. Another machine say, oh, don't worry, I'm going to cook for you. So

01:26eventually, eliminate, okay. So the thing with Mr. Chow now is the beginning of the process of that.

01:32I'm going to use stir fry. Stir fry been in China for 2,300 years. Stir fry is a one breath concept.

01:40And basically, in all Chinese culture, it's all one breath. In my painting, it's one breath.

01:44In Beijing, I'll breathe one breath. In Bruce Lee, six inches, one breath. So it's internal

01:50and universal at the same time. So I'm talking a lot. But so this would be benefit because I

01:59would be taking all the quintessential dishes, preserving it for this launch because of COVID,

02:05because of the technology. Uber Eats and DoorDash, for instance, they are dealing with

02:10a quarter trillion dollar business. But they are still using. So what I'm launching it to fill the

02:15gap of making all this cuisine. And by the way, this this robotic stir fry in our 2,300,

02:25it eliminated. Now, the machine can do it all better in some way better than a human. So this

02:31what I'm launching is no longer be no more chefs. But the intellectual property of the dishes

02:37interpretation is still maintains in the robotic thing. Our thanks to restaurateur and artist

02:44Michael Chow, now known as M.
