Chicago Restaurant Serves Up An Edible Dessert Balloon

By on February 15, 2012

Chef and owner Grant Achatz and his team at Alinea Restaurant in Chicago, Illinois have recently been serving edible helium-filled balloons as dessert for their patrons. This video shows a bit of how they make it and how to eat it. It looks like you need to suck out the helium first and then eat the sugar-y balloon remains (which has a dehydrated apple string). Alternately, like the diner in the video, you can sing the Star Spangled Banner while high on the helium.
