Fine Dining Lovers: define Fine
Posted May 3, 2011
It all started with my really good friend and amazing writer X (Not sure I can reveal her name) "lets exchange" editorial favors e-mail. Many editors know that when you are in need of a good story you can rely on your editor friends. This time my editor friend needed my face and a quote: what makes a fine dining experience + my face. (that I shall not reveal here).
Fast forward two weeks and my editor in chief sends me an e-mail: we should cover this new website fine dining lovers. My reply: my face is on it.
I am on the hook. Who better than I could write this story? So I contact my editor friend who is now in San Francisco over Skype: anything, anything to tell me?
Connection lost, Skype and technology are not being as friendly as my lovely human friends. Therefore I have to resort to my own, yet short-lived experience, with this new website.
I am on the phone and another friend tells me, oh yes, a friend of mine has heard about it, it's like the new Nowness of Food.
I quite don't recall having the same impression so I go back online. Sorry guys, I don't think it's like nowness, for one thing there is content and plus there is a community.
The point is to have one story a day which may lead you to comparisons. However, the website is as sparkling as its sponsors: S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna.
What are you in for if you decide to read fine dining lovers? Well, for one thing you have to like food. Sorry, LOVE. Or make love to food since you are a LOVER. I assume you also have to like fine food. So editorials on quality products are key. You also have to like to dine. To be fully prepared for a fine dining experience you must learn where the goods are so to speak. Tips, chefs, restaurants, recipes, stories. On the hunt for the most exquisite (please note I didn't say exclusive) dining experience.
So what do you consider a fine dining experience? A green tomato with grilled cheese by the train station, a picnic with friends, a vintage cognac, what would be yours.
Start sharing.

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following. The brand’s capacity to take the artistic traditions and aesthetic of Italy and make them their own is unsurpassable and highly romantic to fashion lovers. Their idiosyncratic designs, ironic take on classic dress and the brand’s emblematic items have all contributed in making Dolce&Gabbana a household name. For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
