Food Industry- Decision Makers In Our Gut

We all people on this island are not important . The island and the nutrients it provides exist in their most perfect state without us gathering them or manipulating them, or digesting them.

The Menu film put intellectual crumb in our plates. This film which blended with black humor and thrill has been big impact on me. Because of The Menu showed us that many of the commercial kitchens are running our desire with its exclusive restaurants and dining experiences through unforgottable experiences.
