Food is more than what ends up on your plate. Every dish carries a chain of decisions made long before it reaches you, from how it was grown to how it was sourced, distributed, and served. Moderated by Laksmi DeNeefe Suardana – Suzy Hutomo, Nicco Mayer, and Nyoman Santiawan sit down to explore what it really means to eat and host with intention. How does knowing where your food comes from change the way you consume it? And how are hospitality, retail, and lifestyle adapting to a world that increasingly wants that connection to mean something?

Makanan lebih dari sekadar apa yang ada di piring kita. Setiap hidangan melewati banyak proses dan keputusan sebelum sampai ke meja, mulai dari cara ditanam, dipanen, didistribusikan, hingga disajikan. Dipandu oleh Laksmi DeNeefe Suardana, Suzy Hutomo, Nicco Mayer, dan Nyoman Santiawan akan berbincang tentang apa arti makan dan melayani dengan lebih sadar. Bagaimana mengetahui asal-usul makanan mengubah cara kita menikmatinya? Dan bagaimana dunia hospitality, retail, dan lifestyle beradaptasi dengan semakin banyak orang yang ingin tahu lebih jauh tentang makanan yang mereka konsumsi?
