Fisch’s work challenges conventional ideas around food, particularly the concept of eating bugs as a sustainable source of nutrition. By creating visually stunning dishes, he aims to transform the perception of insects as food, making it both palatable and intriguing.
 
Good Grub  looks to spark curiosity and open conversations about alternative food sources, particularly the role insects could play in addressing sustainability and food security. Fisch’s work seeks to break social taboos and demonstrate that future food paradigms can be both innovative and enjoyable.
