CAFÉ Talks Ep. 98 – Taste and Flavor & Modern Menus

CAFÉ Talks Ep. 98 – Taste and Flavor & Modern Menus

Tuesday, 11 March 2025 11:04

The menu is centerpiece to the restaurant experience and as such, one of the most critical (and enjoyable) tasks that a chef engages in. Bringing family traditions, work experiences, influence from mentors, and ethnic background to the table, a chef will create his or her menu signature. This signature includes all components of FLAVOR (taste, smell, texture, visual impact, sound, and context) as well as the business dynamics that drive restaurant success.

Join CAFÉ Talks for a conversation with Katie Ayoub, one of the country’s most experienced experts in the areas of menu development and taste dynamics as she uncovers some of the secrets of building a successful menu concept while keeping an eye on the trends that drive consumer engagement.
