This economy has been tough for everyone. When we last checked in on IBM’s supercomputer, Watson, it was sending resumes with a requested salary of a billion dollars to the top companies around the world. As it turns out these days it is flipping burgers at a fast food joint for, we presume, minimum wage:

• Watson has been scanning the world’s recipes to identify patterns in ingredients and cooking methods.
• It is then using this data to create new dishes that are likely to appeal to the human palate.
• Its ideas so far have included a “Swiss-Thai asparagus quiche” and an “Austrian chocolate burrito”.
• Interested customers can go to a food truck in Las Vegas to see the supercomputer at work.
