IT’s a fun time to dine in Bahrain and it’s going to get even better, as GulfWeekly reports today. The Global Restaurant Investment Forum (GRIF) will shortly take place in Dubai and showcase restaurant concepts from around the world. One of the expert speakers lined up to speak is Todd English, one of the most decorated, respected and charismatic chefs in the world. Chef Todd feels food is the ultimate democracy, despite various turbulences around the world, food remains a constant. “Restaurants are the social epicentre of our culture – the new living rooms of society for many different occasions – business, social, leisure, romantic; they have also become more entertainment-driven and intertwined in our lives,” he said.
