Message: [QUOTE="Eater Staff, post: 7886"] [IMG]https://platform.eater.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/ultimate-dinner-party-group.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100[/IMG] [URL='https://www.eater.com/food-culture/890551/eater-turns-20-anniversary-coverage-food-trends-2005'][IMG]https://platform.eater.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Eater-20_-03.png[/IMG][/URL] THE BEST DINNER parties go by in a blur. Not necessarily because of the flowing bottles of wine and the second and third helpings of dessert — though those are great — but because of the chatter around the table. The unexpected personal connections. The shared laughter, heated debates, thinly veiled gossip, spontaneous moments of revelry. The ideal dinner party is all about the company; not just how they contribute to the vibe, but also how each guest embraces the opportunity to meet new people. Bonus points if they bring some tea to spill. To celebrate our 20th anniversary, Eater assembled the most interesting people from across the food world for our version of the ultimate food-world dinner party. We encouraged them to pair off, based on shared experiences and expertise, into conversations that they’d find enriching (and that we think you’ll find fascinating). That’s right, you’re invited, too — read on.
