Fu-Hung Hsieh(:07) Our goal is try to create a product which will look like chicken, feels like chicken and taste like chicken.
(:14) I’m sure there are people out there that prefer chicken but there are people that prefer something other than animal proteins this product will provide an alternative for people who prefer the different choice./p>
Harold Huff(:05) The true vegetarian will love this product and they can season it anyway they so desire.
(:10) In the last 10 years we have worked on this project on and off in the last year or two we have made some progress and we have got it down where it really has the mouth feel texture of a chicken product.

Ron Plain(:12) We have had a shift in consumer demand that the demand for chicken wings has grown very rapidly in the last couple of years and consumers are buying the product and bidding up the price.
(:15) There is this late January sort of bubble in chicken wings prices that are probably associated with the football playoffs and the Super Bowl and all.
Adam Ehrlich(:08) Our biggest to-go order day is the Super Bowl, we sell anywhere between 6,000 to 8,000 wings on that day out of each restaurant.

Keith Striegler(:17) This work is important to the state because we have 92 commercial wineries right now and in 2005 we had 50 so there has been tremendous growth, each one of those wineries is out there is an economic engine for it’s region.
(:16) If we can get a variety that had absolute wonderful fruit characteristics and wine characteristics and you didn’t have to spray it at all and it had very few inputs that you had to do in the vineyard that’s the ideal situation we are looking for.
Steve Monson(:14) Winemaking seems like a pretty sexy job when people are looking at it from the outside but there is a reason that I am not wearing a button up shirt right now. I go to work I get wet dirty stained you can’t like any other clothes that you wear to work.
