TEDxTasting: Redefining Luxury

Luxury in food is easy to recognize.

Caviar.
Truffles.
Rare wines.
White tablecloths.

But what if that’s not really luxury at all?

What if true luxury is something quieter —
something you can’t always see at first glance.

The time it took to find a single ingredient.
The relationship with a grower you’ve never heard of.
The curiosity that led a chef somewhere unexpected.

On May 6, Chef Meeker of Fancy Pants invites you into that world.

This is not just a dinner.
It’s a guided, six-course experience — each dish revealing a different layer of what luxury can be.

You might begin with something as humble as a collard green.

But as the story unfolds — where it was grown, why it was chosen, how it was prepared —
that single ingredient becomes something else entirely.

Throughout the evening, Meeker will share the thinking behind each course:
the discoveries, the risks, and the intention that transforms food from something you consume…
into something you experience.

TEDx Tastings is where ideas meet the table.

And by the end of the night, you may find yourself asking a different question:

Not what is luxury?
But what has always been, that we’ve simply overlooked?
