Solenn Heussaff and Gil Cuerva talked about it at the recent episode of Taste Buddies.

Solenn describes the trend as a party set up composed of meat, cheese, fruits, among other things, that are artistically laid down on the table.

"Basically, it's a beautifully styled table with different types of food," says Solenn.

Gil, for his part, said that grazing table makes a party stand out for its sophisticated setup.

"A grazing table can add a touch of glam to your party food, whether it's a small get together or a big party.”

In the country, Cart Tales Manila is the business of grazing table and one of its proponents is makeup artist Albert Kurniawan.

“It's been a fad for I think the past five years.

"Grazing table setup is suitable for people who like to socialize.

"The food prepared is easy to eat and ideal for foodies who wants to chat around the party.

“That's how you mingle especially when you go to a party na you don't know anyone.

"Sometimes, through food, you just get to talk about something.”

A grazing table setup can have different themes depending on the request of the host. The design of the table can also be aligned with the cuisine to be served.
