Slo-Mo Food

Food commercials on TV always show muffins slowly toppling, or a tossed salad slowly moving through air and the pieces bouncing individually onto the plate. Then you go to a restaurant and order a salad and it just sits there doing nothing. Why can't food in real life behave like in the commercials?

Now it can. The Slo-Mo Restaurant is located on one of those giant zero-gravity airplanes that astronauts use to practice weightlessness. Just as the plane reaches its peak altitude and begins to descend into near freefall, all the waiters come and, at this moment in unison, pour the customers' food above their plates (which are bolted to the table which are bolted to the floor), and everyone can watch as the food slowly drifts downward and bounces temptingly on the porcelain surfaces. The plane then levels off so people can eat their food in relative comfort.
