Although the master is gone, the spirit lives on.
<h1>Anthony Bolton's custom kitchen knives are about to be auctioned off, and a scholarship will be set up to fund more chefs</h1>
Renowned chefs Eric Ripert and José Andrés have announced a partnership with the Culinary Institute of America to create a scholarship dedicated to the honor of Anthony Bourdain.
In 1978, Anthony Bolton graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. "Please go out and enter this new world that is being created before us... Make the world a better place. In 2017, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in culinary arts and humanities after his commencement speech.

Dr Tim Ryan, President of the Culinary Institute of America, said: "Anthony Bolton has shown the world about food and different cultures through his wonderful story. He often came to the school to talk to students about his profession and the authenticity and importance of becoming a chef. Therefore, it is fitting that the Culinary Institute of America offers scholarships in his honor to students who are interested in experiencing global cuisine and culture. ”
Recently, some of Anthony Bolton's personal belongings are about to be auctioned, and more than 200 collections, including books, manuscripts and art collections, are estimated to be worth $200,000-400,000. One of the most unique items is a kitchen knife made by The American master knifemaker Bob Kramer, which may be sold at the highest price. The auction will be previewed on the Lark Mason auction house website from October 2, and online bidding will take place from October 9 to October 30.

Part of the proceeds from the auction will go to the Anthony Bolton Estate Scholarship and another part to Bolton's family. The Culinary Institute hopes the first scholarships will be awarded to students in the spring semester of 2020. I believe that the Bolton Scholarship can help more chefs realize their career dreams.

<h1>The world's first cheese swing restaurant opens</h1>
The recent opening of a restaurant in London, ENGLAND called Pick & Cheese, features a 40-metre-long conveyor belt around which diners can sit down and begin to enjoy over 25 traditional and delicious English cheeses.

Each cheese has its own pairing of condiments and wines, and the price of cheese ranges from £3 to £6. Of course, the restaurant also offers take-away service, and grilled cheese sandwiches are one of the most ordered take-away dishes.

The reason for the creation of this restaurant is also related to the personal experience of the founder Mathew Carver, who once worked in a bakery and was exposed to a lot of cheese, but also saw some misunderstandings about cheese in the public, so he opened such a new restaurant that combines cheese and bar.
The variety of cheeses is displayed in a conveyor belt manner, which is more intuitive than choosing from a wide range of containers. At the same time, diners can also have more opportunities to pay attention to the flavor of cheese that they have never tried before, which is a beneficial form of innovation. (Author: Liu Yufa)
<h1>The ingredients for making delicious dishes are "disgusting" bugs, do you dare to eat them? </h1>
The sad fact that we have to face is that scientists predict that by 2050, the global population will reach 9 billion. Food shortages are an inescapable problem for human beings.
In addition to scientific and technological means such as artificial meat, the development of more edible ingredients is also one of the solutions. Adding insects to vegetables is seen by scientific researchers as one of the solutions.
Imagine a future where your lunch on the plate will change from fatty beef, delicate lamb chops, and smoked chicken to garlic grasshopper soup, locust burgers, worm red wine sauce... Is it hard to hear the name alone?
However, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, insects are not a strange thing, more than 1900 species of insects are used as a food source by humans, and at least 2 billion people around the world still feed on insects. People in the tropics eat more insects, one of the reasons is that the insects there grow faster, but in temperate regions with lower temperatures, it is not worth catching specifically because of the smaller number of insects.
In order to make more people accept and no longer dislike insects into the dish. Recently, two Italian photographers, in collaboration with a Michelin chef and a biologist, launched a project called "Beatle in the Box", which aims to make chefs use superb cooking skills to turn "nausea" into delicious food in a beautiful way. Make it easier for everyone to accept insects into the dish.
Let's take a look at this set of "delicious" works, with insects as ingredients on the left and dishes made on the right.
