Hot Take: Millennials Need to Reclaim the Art of Savoring
Recently, I was eating dinner with a group of people I didn't know well. Everyone at the table was in their mid-to late twenties and were still trying to pound back drinks during our meal like we were in college. I had been slowly sipping on my margarita. It had been a long time since I had enjoyed one, particularly with the pandemic going on. As I enjoyed the taste with my pollo con crema, one of the guys heckled me to "catch up to the rest of us." I said: "Don't you ever just want to savor your food and drink without having an agenda to chug your way to being hammered?" He stared at me with some confusion as did most of the table. "Savor??? Ummmm why would I do that? Savor??" he laughed, and I realized in that moment how few millennials recognize the ability and art of savoring their environments.
