When it comes to fine-dining, Millennials are willing to pay for a once in a lifetime experience. According to a Michelin survey, diners 18-34-years-old will spend more than other age groups for special occasion dining: up to $282 compared to the survey average of $203. Michelin believes the big spenders have been influenced by the trendy food movement, which has created a world of celebrity chefs and popular food shows. It could also be that Millennials’ lust for authenticity and desire for unique, enviable experiences have made food the new status symbol for the generation. (Uproxx)
