Customized burgers based on facial recognition and robots behind the counter at your favorite doughnut shop? It sounds like the premise of a sci-fi movie, but the future of food is stranger than fiction.

In a conversation with WUSF's food podcast, The Zest, Reiley gazes into her crystal ball to give us a heads-up on what to expect in the future of food.
After years of being a food critic, Reily gave The Zest her overall impression of Tampa Bay's restaurant scene. You can find that conversation here.
