There’s a reason why people linger after meals and it is rooted in some-
thing considerably more profound than food. Sharing a meal has always been
a pretence to a much more intimate act; an excuse to facilitate connection.
Having a meal by oneself is an act that is understood without fault and it is
accommodated without deliberation. Dining together becomes something
far more meaningful and it is the intangible nourishment of these experienc-
es that we desire. Familial memories are enhanced over sunlit breakfasts,
business relationships are strengthened over lunch and special occasions
are brightened by dinner. Dining is an incomparable medium for human in-
teraction and whether shared in a lively restaurant with peers or the warmth
of your home with family, the substance, the sentiment and the connection
remains the same.
