1. Presenting the “Mindful Experience” menu with smaller portions
Blumenthal designed a new menu of mini versions of The Fat Duck’s series of dishes.If ‘The Journey’ is priced at £350 or the equivalent of IDR 7.8 million per portion, the new version ‘Mindful Experience’ comes at a price of £275 or the equivalent of IDR 6.2 million and a slimmer portion.
The aim is to provide a full culinary experience without overwhelming customers because they get full quickly due to skinny jabs.
2. Invite customers to eat slowly and be more conscious
This new menu concept encourages customers to enjoy food more mindfully.Small portions allow them to absorb the flavors, aromas and textures slowly, without the pressure of finishing a large portion.
3. Perfecting iconic dishes in miniature form
Blumenthal didn’t just shrink the portions.He redesigned his legendary dishes, such as the ‘Nitro-poached aperitif’ and ‘Beside the Sea’ to still provide the signature Fat Duck surprise, complete with liquid nitrogen mousse and the sound of waves crashing through headphones.
4. Anticipate the business impact of customers eating less
After experiencing the effects of the GLP-1 drug himself which made him lose 20 kilograms, Blumenthal realized this trend could reduce customer consumption in restaurants.Instead of panicking, he chose to innovate, turning this trend into a creative opportunity.
5. Inspire other chefs to provide mini menus
The impact is widespread.Chef Atul Kochhar also started offering smaller portions after many customers said they could no longer afford to finish their regular portions.The skinny jabs trend seems to be forcing the culinary industry to make major adjustments.
