Eater’s 20 Years of Chefs Dreaming Big & Eating Cake
Celebrating 20 flavorsome years, Eater tapped culinary legends Niki Nakayama, Missy Robbins, and Dominique Ansel for their nostalgia and visions for 2025 and beyond. From reminiscing about 2005—yes, a whole two decades ago when floppy disks still made sense—to pondering a future where menus and hospitality magically evolve, they kept the heat on tradition and innovation with Instagram reels as proof. Birthday celebrations? Homemade cakes mingle with opulent omakase dinners, reminding us that even culinary pros can’t resist splurging and carbs. All amidst carefully curated social media moments that scream 'Influencer-approved' more than Michelin-starred, blending tech, tradition, and tasty treats in one perfectly unsettling glossy package.
