The sooner the better, though I’m sure we are years out.

Lab grown meat is creepy, but I will eat it assuming it is safe, tasty, and cheap.

"Clem, one of the company's cofounders and tissue engineers, is the local tie...

He wound up in Memphis with a career as a human tissue engineer for Wright Medical. But Clem couldn't resist the siren song of barbecue, and he soon found himself back in the restaurant industry.
