Ahh, molecular gastronomy, the new foodie trend for those who enjoy cooking with nitrogen, lasers, vacuum dryers and airy textures. We might not understand it completely, but the Taller Store definitely does. Created and run by Christiano Rienzner, this very unusual kitchen store lets you experience the experimental but highly efficient—and tasty—cooking techniques.

Tip: Before you decide to go for the trippy ride, you might be better off reading the Ten Commandments of the Molecular Kitchen by Ferran Adriá, a veritable god in the subject.
