Those machines that can make food instantly for sure. Put a few of those bad boys in the right place and we've solved world hunger. Also, healthy tasty food for those of us who can't cook and can't afford to eat at restaurants.

Granted, people in the restaurant would largely lose their job, but we can retrain them for something else like we did with stagecoach drivers, telephone operators and honest politicians before them 🤷

FISH!

I'd say budget 3D printed meals are around the corner.

Proper gourmet replicated meals, 60yrs.

Replicators! Yes!!

Some restaurants probably will still exist as a premium option. And chefs can create recipes and sell them online.

They'll probably add DRM to it. Crap! 😬

Atomically Precise Manufacturing!

Might actually happen in the upcoming decades.
