W Parlour: The New Luxury of Food: Taste, Trends & Dining Culture

​What defines modern dining today beyond just the food itself? This morning conversation explores the changing relationship between food, culture, lifestyle, and experience — from fine dining and storytelling to changing attitudes around sustainability, hospitality, and the future of food culture.
