I am such a fan of this gentlemen. If anyone can remember and would like to share, Mr. Wilson used a food safe chemical two NWWBC competitions ago to create a caviar type ball of espresso. Does anybody remember the name of that chemical and maybe know where I can get some.

According to a friend of mine (which is a chef) you can use a combination of sodium alginate and calcium chloride. I'll send you the details in an email if you like.

I believe he used sodium alginate and calcium chloride. Here is a good thread on the Egullet forum about how to do it.

What a neat thread. Is there video of this NWWBC performance by Mr Wilson anywhere? (He mumbles lazily, not having bothered to google it yet...)

I think that was before video streams of competitions became the norm a'la Zachary. Lots of pics floating around, though.
He does but as i am not from the US i don't think that supplier wil be of great help to you. On the other hand i found a great link on how to get it. It's shows an explanation depending on the amount of liquid nitrogen you need.

Here is a video ... not the best quality, or too close, but still cool. I was lucky enough to judge both of Billy's preliminary and final rounds and taste this drink first hand. It was truly awesome, and creative. There is also a lot of footage from this event on the Training with Champions DVD that I directed and Bellissimo produced.

Willpowder.net sells everything you need for spherification. They are in new York and shipping takes about a week (fedex ground) just got mine for the scrbc...it's awesome stuff. Have fun!

Does Billy know you took them?

(sorry... kinda felt compelled)

Thanks for posting that vid Matt.
I've got my own balls, and there is plenty to go around.
