Quince, a restaurant in San Francisco, is serving a dish called “A Dog in Search of Gold” on an Apple iPad that’s playing a video of a dog hunting for truffles (松露). If you’re wondering about the connection, the dish is composed of white truffle croquettes (油炸丸子).And in case you’re not into truffles, Quince also serves frog legs on top of iPads playing videos of frogs in a pond.

“The idea is simply about taking the guest on a voyage,” Michael Tusk, who runs the restaurant, told Inside Scoop SF. “Living in San Francisco for over twenty years, I have seen the technological development, and I want to combine (結(jié)合)food industry with technology and a Me bit of education.” Local chef Richie Nakano attracted the attention of social media after showing a photo of the UA Dog in Search of Gold” that a friend had ordered. Some people complained about the high price of the dish, but most wondered whether it was healthy.

Tusk said, “We asked local wood worker Luke Bartels to create a housing (防護(hù)外殼)for the iPad — a glass cover that protects the screen. The food does not directly sit on top of the iPad. The cover is washed after every use.”

Interestingly, Quince is reportedly the first U.S. restaurant to use iPads as plates, but definitely not the first in the world. The Daily Mail reports that restaurants in the UK have been using them for the last two years.
