After a long hiatus, SMX Convention Center brought back its star-studded food event, Culinaire, with a bang! Held last August 6, the event transformed into a cinematic feast called “Flavor Flix”. Imagine walking into a world where your favorite movies and TV shows come to life, not just on screen but on your plate!
Over a thousand lucky foodies got to experience this culinary magic. Ten top-notch caterers went head-to-head, each channeling the vibe of a different hit show or movie. From the elegant world of “Bridgerton” recreated by Bizu to the thrilling chaos of “Squid Game” by Kitchen City, there was something for every taste bud.
It wasn’t just about eating; it was about experiencing. Guests sipped on “Love Island” cocktails, mingled with fellow food lovers, and even voted for their favorite dishes. The competition was fierce! A panel of expert judges also weighed in, but in the end, it was the people’s choice that truly mattered. And the winner is… Juan Carlo! Their “Stranger Things”-inspired dishes swept all categories.
Michael Jaey Albaña, the big boss at SMX, shared how happy they were to bring back Culinaire. He said, “This isn’t just about food; it’s about telling a story.” And boy, did they tell a good one! It was a celebration of the events industry bouncing back after those tough pandemic years.
Culinaire proved that SMX isn’t just about conferences and meetings. It’s a place where dreams and flavors come together. So, whether you’re planning a wedding or a corporate event, SMX has got you covered.
This year’s Culinaire was a massive team effort. Aside from the amazing caterers, a whole bunch of talented people pulled it off. From the music to the lights, everything was perfect.
It was a night of unforgettable food, great company, and even better vibes. Culinaire, you’ve set the bar high! We can’t wait to see what you’ll cook up next.
