Somewhere in the back of their minds, hosts and guests alike know that the dinner party is a source of untold irritation, and that even the dullest evening spent watching television is preferable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people are getting bored of parties, and hosts are terrified nobody's going to show up. So they have to start entertaining them before the party even starts.
You can imagine the kind of dinner parties I had to go to at a young age... pretty dull.
Everybody is welcome to come to dinner, but there's going to be the adult table and the kids' table. Whiny people who want to throw food and make noise and interrupt and be rude and act like children, they can sit at the kids' table.
I mean, I can cook, but I'd get very nervous having my food being judged by dinner guests.
Dinner parties are still highly popular, and I believe they always will be.
I've never been to a dinner party where everyone at the dinner table didn't say something funny.
We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.
I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they're meant to. My husband is a really fantastic cook. His mother is Italian and if you walk into our house, we assume you're starving.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.
