> they even had a stupid Watson chef thing at SXSW one year

I loved Chef Watson, am sad that it's gone, and would pay a small amount for renewed access.

It wasn't "smart", and its recommendations needed to be tempered with human understanding, but I wound up with some great recipes that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

I think the best was goat milk mac & cheese with radishes and red miso.

The funniest was when it told me to remove the connective tissue from tofu.

I remember reading some very amusing Chef Watson cocktail recipes. Lots of savory concepts like putting chicken or meat into a drink.

I worked on Chef Watson and was part of the team at SXSW. One of the most amusing parts was how much it loved bacon. This was because bacon could be sweet, savory, salty, and fatty - it all depended on how you cooked it. A big part of the way that Chef Watson created recipes was by connecting flavors together. There was a while when it didn’t record why it had included an ingredient - so bacon would be brought originally because it can be sweet, but then it would immediately bridge to the fatty flavor. Fun times indeed.

I mean, that's all the rage for Bloody Mary recipes these days, so maybe Chef Watson was onto something.
