Why Do Some Restaurants Offer Tasting Menus?

Instead of selling one large meal, a tasting menu sells a series of smaller experiences, that allows the kitchen to control portions, introduce more dishes and create a specific sequence.

It can also change the economics, more courses mean more preparation and more ingredients, but they also create a different type of dining experience.

You're not simply ordering food.

You're buying a curated journey through the kitchen's ideas.
