Chicken made from cultivated cells is officially on the menu at a San Francisco restaurant (but you can’t just walk in and order it)

About a week and a half ago, the US Department of Agriculture gave two brands, Upside Foods and Good Meat, approval to start producing and selling their cultivated chicken. Cultivated, or lab-grown, meat is developed from animal cells and grown in massive bioreactors with the help of nutrients like amino acids. This happens in a production facility that looks a lot like a brewery.

Good Meat is also planning to first serve its product in a restaurant, though it hasn’t revealed a date yet. It’s working with chef and restaurateur José Andrés to bring the item to his Washington, DC, restaurant China Chilcano. The Bar Crenn debut follows a series of approvals granted from the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration, which are together regulating the nascent cultivated meat industry.
