As I’ve tried to tie in my occupation with the last topic, social networks, I thought it might be interesting to explore culinary in the virtual world as well. A fun space has been created with culinary and virtual reality. From virtual cooking classes around the world to cooking games for kids, culinary has become a growing trend in the virtual world.
There is also a growing trend with “virtual restaurants” this where foodservice owners have no physical dining space, they only operate through food delivery mobile apps such as Uber Eats, and Grub Hub. All business is conducted through mobile delivery apps. With the recent events of Covid-19 more restaurants are offering takeout, which raises the question, What will be the future of restaurant dining? Will restaurants stop offering dining options? especially if it could potentially cut cost.
The opportunities for culinary creativity in the virtual world seem to continue to grow. I also see opportunity in culinary education. I could definitely see ( if it hasn’t happened already) culinary colleges incorporating virtual worlds into programs. As a high school culinary instructor I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of introducing virtual reality into the classroom, but then I think once again about the current climate we are in and I guess in a sense I’ve already began introducing aspects of the virtual world into my classroom.
