Technology has managed to make all manner of service employees practically obsolete -- bank tellers, travel agents, grocery store checkers. Are waiters next?

When you think about it, the newfangled gadget that tech startup E la Carte released this week has been sort of a long time coming. It's basically a more rugged version of an iPad that allows you to touch-screen your way through a restaurant menu, order and even pay.

The crotchety misanthrope might ask, "How is it that I've been able to scan and bag my own groceries for years, but still I have to make chit-chat with the waiter at Applebee's?"

Right now, reports our our sister site TechCrunch, only about 20 eateries have the device, mostly in San Francisco and Boston. But E la Carte says it has a long waiting list of restaurant owners eager to try the thing. One reason is because restaurants that have tested it have reported a 10 to 12 percent spike in overall revenue, since E la Carte is great at up-selling. ("Would you like a side salad with that for only $3 more?" Here's a lovely picture of the side salad. All you have to do is press this button.)

MealSnap iphone appPhoto: iTunes


Calorie counts can now be made with a flick of your iPhone. Meal Snap, by health and fitness brand DailyBurn ($2.99 on iTunes), allows users to calculate calories for any food item in the app's 500,000-item database, from an apple to a bag of chips, simply by snapping its picture. Users can then choose to log it into a food diary, to keep track of daily intake, or share findings on Twitter, if you're a lifestyle pusher.

But the counting isn't exact. A few minutes after snapping, a reading reveals a range of possible calories -- an apple could be anywhere between 64 and 96, while a container of yogurt registered between 135 and 204, notes the Daily Mail, who ran a test of their own. So nutrition sticklers, beware, these are mere estimates. The app will also estimate fat content, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and other breakdowns, notes chief executive at DailyBurn, Andy Smith, according to Daily Mail.

And it may do wonders for our appetite, says Smith. "The pure act of tracking something can cause a psychological change that can help people on their health and fitness journey," he tells the Mail. "Just the simple fact of logging it makes me more aware of what I'm eating." No lie. Weight Watchers members have been doing just that for decades -- without a camera.

The food processor revolutionized home cooking, and the cry of its pitchmen would resound in the cultural memory of an entire generation: "It slices! It dices!"

This year the kitchen gadget that changed the way we make everything from coleslaw to pie crust is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The Chicago Sun-Times has put together a glowing tribute to this icon of the modern kitchen. Who knew that such a cold little machine whose main feature is the blind, lethal whirling of a devilishly sharp blade could inspire so much love?

robot to debone a hamPhoto: YouTube

We may still be a long way from the kind of future where C3PO is on hand to decant your favorite wine for you, but it seems we're inching ever closer to the age of the robot.

To wit, the recent Fourth Robot Awards, in Japan, where two industrial food-processing robots took top prizes. The first is a machine that looks downright terrifying -- just a long, sleek robot arm with a gleaming knife welded to one end. It's the HAMDAS-R, developed by Mayekawa Electric, and it's designed to remove ham bones -- a lot of them. Five hundred in an hour, which is twice as fast as a human's capability to debone a ham.

As Popular Science reports, what's previously kept robots out of the gruesome business of meat processing is that they generally haven't been so good at telling the difference between meat and bone, leaving results that we're guessing looked something like tossing a pork chop into a blender. The HAMDAS-R, however, "is able to consistently distinguish meat from bone," which garnered it the top prize in the Small Business and Venture category.

You're out at a restaurant for a special occasion and have ordered an absolutely delicious bottle of wine. It's so good, in fact, you'd like to know if they sell it at your local wine store. With Snooth Wine Pro, a new iPhone app, you can find out simply by taking a quick photo of the label.

Snooth Wine Pro can identify that wine and then provide you with reviews, locations that carry it and even online ordering options in seconds. You can even find other wines from the same vineyard.

We tested out the app on the only bottle of wine we had in the house -- a housewarming gift and the only bottle in the wine fridge: a Grgich Hills Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002.

We snapped a photo of the label with the iPhone and the app was able to not only identify the wine, but other vintages and other varietals made by the Grgich Hills vineyard and it listed stores across the country where you could find the bottle. (The nearest was 57 miles away in Middletown, N.Y. which sells it for $69.99.)

Don't want to spend the seventh-inning stretch standing in line for food? There's an app for that.

Major League Baseball Advanced Media is testing a new iPhone app at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies, that allows fans to order food and have it delivered directly to their seats. If all goes well, the plan is to have the service available at ballparks across the country by next season.

The food-delivery option is bundled with MLBAM's At Bat 2010 iPhone app, which offers live streaming games, stats and scores and and currently sells for $7. It's not clear whether, beyond having to buy the app, there will be an extra fee for food delivery on top of the already sky-high ballpark prices (e.g., $13 for a BBQ turkey sandwich).

In many corners of the country it's fair-going time, and you know what that means: whiplash-inducing rides, cheap stuffed animal prizes, and oh yeah, food. Lots of food, mostly the kind you rarely let yourself indulge in -- cotton candy, for example, or (kill me now) fried dough. If you're going to schlep your way to the fairgrounds and bump elbows with everyone else in the county, you're going to want your yearly fix of the bad (but oh-so-good) stuff. So how are you going to find it in the crowds?

That's where the Food Finder comes in. The Ohio State Fair, anticipating a throng of hungry patrons, has created a mobile app that tells you exactly where to locate that Italian sausage or cheese on a stick you've been longing for. Many state fairs and amusements parks have put up websites detailing all the food options; Ohio's info can even be accessed right on your cellphone -- so while your kids are screaming on the Tilt-A-Whirl, you can scope out the nearest candy-apple cart.

Of course, the app does more than satisfy fair-going appetites -- it gives vendors a boost, too. Brian Shenkman, whose fried buckeyes were one of the hottest thing going at least year's fair, told Ohio's News 10 Team that he expects the new technology to help his business. "[W]e won't have the complaints that we had last year with people saying they can't find us," he said. "You'll find us now."

In other words, everyone wins -- except perhaps our waistlines. Deep-fried Snickers bar, anyone? Meet you at the Ferris wheel.

As anyone who's ever owned a fruit tree knows, there's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into that first ripe plum (or fig or cherry) of the season -- but what do you do with the other, oh, five thousand of them?

Once you've plied your family, friends and neighbors with bushel upon bushel, if you're lucky enough to live in Seattle, you head to City Fruit. The founders of the local nonprofit recognized that there was a whole bounty of fresh, locally grown fruit literally going to waste, from backyard Bartlett pears to "feral" apples growing on public land.

The group not only educates fruit-tree owners on how best to care for their trees, it also organizes "harvesting groups" and maintains a list of food banks and other charitable organizations that welcome donations of fresh fruit.

It all sounds very quaint, yes, but these folks aren't stuck back in the days of Johnny Appleseed. In what is perhaps one of the coolest uses of Google Maps to date, City Fruit has unveiled the Fruit Tree Map of Seattle. The map gives tree owners who are stuck with an embarrassment of riches a chance to share their harvest, and it also allows anyone who happens to spot a public tree that's ripe for the picking to alert other fruit fans to its location.

Even though it has some of the toughest liquor laws in the country, Pennsylvania is trying to get creative.

The state, which has strict control over the sale of beer, wine and spirits, has set up wine vending machines, the Associated Press reported. The "kiosks" are being tested in two grocery stores and may make an appearance in as many as 100 others around the state if they're a success.

With the swipe of a driver's license, a snap of the camera and after you blow into a breath sensor, you can purchase wine from the machines.

And customers seem to like them, the AP reported.

"This is just convenient one-stop shopping," Darby Golec, told the AP outside a Harrisburg grocery store. "It'll be nice to have it all in one area."

They may be the most expensive menus in the world -- and we're not talking about the price of the truffle mac 'n' cheese.

It's the menus themselves: at a restaurant in Sydney, Australia, the hostess doesn't hand you a boring old paper menu, but a brand new iPad.

We've got to admit, that's pretty cool.

The custom app at Mundo, in North Sydney, not only allows you to touch screen your way through the restaurant's selection of internationally inspired tapas, but when you've decided between the Szechwan Calamari or the Kingfish Ceviche, you can send the order to the kitchen yourself.

This could possibly be the food toy of the century: Edible frozen pop-art instant gratification on a stick. Take the Zoku from your freezer (okay, this requires premeditation), pour in the juice or yogurt of choice, stare expectantly at if for about 8 minutes, then turn out popsicles worthy of Warhol.

Why put down close to 50 bucks for something you can make with a paper cup and an ice cream stick? Simple. Create layered pops, filled pops, designer pops in minutes. It's like a Play-doh Fun Factory for your freezer.

This is how it works: You freeze the Zoku itself overnight -- it works like the coolant-filled bowl of a ice-cream maker. Unlike an ice-cream maker which needs to keep the mixture moving or it'll ice up, here it "popsicalizes" in 7 to 9 minutes. It stays cold enough to do a second batch (I've succesfullt done three batches in a row, although that's freezing without a net).

As The New York Times reports, a company called Automated Media Services has developed TV screens that can be clipped to supermarket shelves. And what will be showing on those tiny screens? You guessed it: endless loops of the same commercials for cereal or soup or shampoo.

Perhaps the largest breakthrough in cooking in the last decade, molecular gastronomy -- or "playing with powder," as David Lebovitz puts it -- is an art form that has some diners widening their eyes in wonderment and others shaking their heads in disbelief.

Popularized by Ferran Adria's soon-to-be-shuttered El Bulli in Spain and, later by Wylie Dufresne at New York City's WD-50, the avant-garde cuisine takes the ordinary to extraordinary levels. As Frank Bruni put it in 2005, the "sci-fi cooking" has been known to "toy with unusual textures, play with wildly unlikely flavor combinations and generally venture in directions that might turn out to be silly, but then again might not." Pondered Lebovitz, "Just like Matisse was widely-panned for painting a woman's face with a green stripe down the middle, I think we're going to have to let time tell us if this is just a passing fancy or if it's something that's here to stay."

And though the still-kicking buzz of molecular cooking has died down - quite likely as a result of the prohibitively high cost of restaurants embracing it as their specialty - it may now create another stir, as it is released in a user-friendly form to the general public.

Snapfinger, a new web and mobile phone app, allows you to order from several chain restaurants like Outback, Subway and California Pizza Kitchen. So you can simply type in the order for Kookaburra wings from Outback, pay online, and have them waiting for you as you pull up.

The app is linked to the restaurant's computerized cash register which tells you daily specials, store hours and if an item has run out. The service is available for 28,000 restaurants in over 1,500 cities nationwide and in Canada.

Restaurants love this new form of ordering. According to an article in the New York Times, people who use the app spend about 25 percent more than when they order the old-school way. Snapfinger offers the add-on items like sides, which are typically suggested by the server.

Kudzu Interactive, which launched Snapfinger, is currently working on an app for fast-food restaurants where you can order at the counter and not have to wait in line as well as an iPad app to replace menus at tables.

In Italy, you can get a fresh hot pizza out of a vending machine. In Australia, you can get french fries. And in the spirit of catering to the local market, in Moscow, you can now find vending machines that dole out caviar, LA Weekly reported.

A Russian company has installed 33 vending machines across Moscow, including in the mayor's office, that dispense glass jars and tin cans of red salmon roe (fish eggs), a less-pricey version of the caviar that Russians spread on toast and drink with sparkling wine for special events.

Those looking for the black sturgeon varieties -- such as Beluga, Ossetra, and Sevruga -- won't find it in vending machines, London's Telegraph reported, as the high price tag puts it out of reach of most Russians. Black sturgeon caviar harvesting is limited to about 9 tons a year as many varieties have been hunted to near-extinction.

Vending machines aren't just for Kit-Kats and Cokes anymore. You can find everything from fresh-baked pizza (made from scratch!) to live lobsters in vending machines around the world, Travel + Leisure reported.

Want a fresh pizza? In Italy, the "Let's Pizza" vending machine makes four types of pizza from scratch. The machine kneads the dough, spreads on sauce and cheese and toppings, and then bakes your pie in less than three minutes and has taken up residence in shopping malls and airports.

Got a craving for french fries? In Australia, there's a vending machine for that -- Hot Fresh Fries.

The Maine Lobster Game vending machine mixes tasty crustaceans with carnival game, letting "players" catch their own lobsters in a tank. For $3 you get 15 seconds to try and grab a lobster that you can either have cooked up in the restaurant or take to go.

In both California and Japan you can get fresh eggs from a vending machine, Travel + Leisure reported.

Well, America -- the truth came out in Chicago. Judging from the appliances on display at the International Home and Housewares show running in the Windy City earlier this week, what people really want is what they've been clamoring for since the 1950s -- convenience. No matter how we profess our love for chefs, watch culinary how-to shows, or snap up lushly illustrated cookbooks, apparently most of us still aren't so wild about cooking itself.

In fact, it seems as though grocers and appliance makers have teamed up to create a futuristic "cooking" future where no one really has to think at all. Remember when it seemed crazy that microwaves had a button for popcorn? Well, now they come outfitted with one-touch options for pizzas and omelets.
