Multisensory Dining Trends 2025 — Menu Matters × WTSA (World Taste & Smell Day Special)

For World Taste & Smell Day, WTSA’s Mindy Yang and Stephanie Feuer host a live conversation with Maeve Webster and Mike Kostyo of Menu Matters, along with special guest Chef Rosalyn Darling (DarlingCulinary.com). Together, they explore Menu Matter's new Multisensory Dining Trend Report and discuss how sound, aroma, color, texture, temperature, and storytelling are shaping the future of hospitality, CPG, and food culture. We love Maeve and Mike's deep expertise, and how Chef Rosalyn Darling brings insightful and empathetic culinary perspective, sharing how multisensory design can transform menus into memorable, emotionally resonant journeys. 👉 Prefer video?
