  <title>EP 60: Understanding the Dining Experience and Why Food Is the Ultimate Connector</title>
  <description>&amp;amp;nbsp; I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Kutina. Kutina is a Tanzanian American woman who&amp;amp;nbsp;moved to the US in her childhood and has maintained strong ties with her home country.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; The dynamic woman who is also a stationary&amp;amp;nbsp;in the US food and restaurant industry, take us behind&amp;amp;nbsp;the scenes of some of your favorite restaurants. In this episode we become&amp;amp;nbsp;a little more intimate&amp;amp;nbsp;with service and the mechanics&amp;amp;nbsp;of dining and food appreciation. Some of the topics we explore are&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;  Why&amp;amp;nbsp;many African restaurants cannot get it right and how the realities of being a restaurateur far exceeds&amp;amp;nbsp;the ability to cook a wonderful meal.&amp;amp;nbsp; Understanding what 'Organic' on your food packaging&amp;amp;nbsp;really means. We learn that&amp;amp;nbsp;it is a holistic&amp;amp;nbsp;approach to food. Considering things like, it is how what was the animal , fed , how was the animal treated, what environment was it reared What to expect when you go to your favorite restaurants&amp;amp;nbsp; and knowing&amp;amp;nbsp;what to expect through what the industry identifies as the 'Steps of Service'&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;The Impossible Burger - the plant based burger developed by a scientist, taste, feels and smells like meat. Can be found at Cheesecake Factory, Bare Burger, White Castle and most recently Burger King&amp;amp;nbsp;  &amp;amp;nbsp; MUST TRY RESTAURANT IN NYC BY KUTINA&amp;amp;nbsp;  Uncle Boon, Thai (Michelin Star Restaurant)&amp;amp;nbsp;  Roberta , Pizza  The Lobster Club (The fish is shipped directly from Japan daily)  Dead Rabbit&amp;amp;nbsp; (Cocktails and the menu is presented in form a storybook)&amp;amp;nbsp;  Mombar, Egyptian Restaurant ( Vibes is as if you are eating in the owners house)&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Connect with Kutina &amp;amp;nbsp;-&amp;amp;nbsp;@tanzamerican &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
