Following Food Hood’s ethos of making food a playful experience, the Etiquette: Play With Your Food explores role-playing and performativity around etiquette and correctness in fine dining, reimagining them through innocence, play, and pleasure, directly connecting us with our inner child. Recontextualizing the Mexican tradition of piñatas, this piece merges their extravagance, playfulness, and craftsmanship with the elegance and sophistication of fine dining, creating a performative object that sparks curiosity and enjoyment, activated through a performance.
