Why Sit Through a Four-hour Michelin Tasting Menu?

Hannah Berner stayed for a four-hour Michelin-star tasting menu in Singapore because the reservation had taken three weeks. They sat down around 6 p.m. The room was dark and peaceful, and she had expected the courses to move fast. She counted nine courses, then a bread that was not on the menu, which she guessed made ten. Two hours in, they were only halfway.

She had the worst bloat of her life after she landed, and the compression socks she wore did not prepare her for it. The meal was spectacular and she was miserable at the same time. She called the dinner a torture chamber of incredible flavors and called sleep deprivation torture. She got dizzy, thought she was going to pass away, and texted that she was not going to make it. She still did not leave.
