Toronto, Canada / Los Angeles, California / Houston, Texas – TheNewswire - October 19, 2021 - Oasis Digital Studios Limited (“Oasis”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID) / (OTC:LQAVF) / (FRA:4T51) / (CNSX:LQID.CN), a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company, is pleased to announce that together with McCartney Multimedia, Inc. and renowned Chef-owner of Houston’s eculent restaurant, and entrepreneur, David Skinner are working with award-winning chefs and culinary experts to officially launch Gourmet NFT. Creating NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and digital collectibles for restaurant, tournament, secret and chefs’ own kitchen recipes, Gourmet NFT will enable foodies, fans and those that just want to be better and more diverse cooks to collect, organize and own legendary recipes. As part of the founding group and exclusive agency for this program, earning up to 35% from each sale, Oasis is leading the development of new technology to enable recipe holders to use their NFTs as “keys” to unlock web features for easy access to online videos, recipes and exclusive information and tips. NFTs can be resold, allowing new holders to have access to the online content.
According to Foodnetwork.com and their article The Biggest Food Trends We’ll Be Talking About in 2021, 2020 saw online grocery sales increasing by 53% and foresees the growth in online grocery sales continuing as the pandemic disrupted the way people cook and eat. With millions of North Americans spending more time at home, cooking everything from cookies to family meals has increased and many people are venturing to expand their culinary expertise. Users will be able to search the site by mealtime, allergen, food ingredients and a whole host of meta tags to hone in on the recipes they wish to download and collect in their wallet. Meanwhile Chefs and culinary creators will have a way to augment their income with residual royalties from their digital downloads.
Recipes will range in price allowing everyone who is interested in expanding their food knowledge and culinary repertoire to collect Gourmet NFT recipes. There will also be a higher price range for the true “unobtanium” type of recipes that fall into off-menu or “secret sauce” categories. In addition, a select few Chefs will be offering a one-off experiential NFT opportunity ranging from dinner with the Chef in person, to skip-the-line / golden ticket offerings for those impossible to get into restaurants.
“Chef and I have worked together on several projects over the last few years, including branding his Kemah, TX based Meticulous Spirits Distillery, and filming his record-breaking brainchild event “Around The World In 10,000 Bites”, where Chef and 43 of his closest, world-renowned chef friends from 10 countries fed a 101 course meal to 120 diners in the dinosaur exhibit of the Houston Natural History Museum. We’ve always had our eye on technology integration for marketing using QR, and now AR labels, and when we came up with GourmetNFT.com, the concept just seemed to fit right into the futuristic perception of Chef David’s reputation” said Ruth McCartney CEO and Digital Diva of McCartney Multimedia.
