Crafting the Fine Dining Experience on Social Media: A Sensory Journey by Michael Sundburg
In a town where hospitality and craftsmanship intersect, fine dining in Hendersonville is more than just a meal—it’s a story waiting to be told. And now, more than ever, how that story is told matters just as much as the flavors on the plate.
Social media isn’t just a marketing tool—it’s a stage. And as Michael Sundburg reminds us, when it comes to high-end culinary experiences, every detail counts in capturing attention and sparking emotion.
Fine Dining Is a Symphony—Let’s Score It Visually
Imagine walking into a space where the lighting is warm and intentional—just enough to highlight the shimmer of a wine glass and the glow of a candlelit table. The air hums with soft conversation and the crisp clink of a silver fork meeting porcelain.
Now translate that into social content.

When social media is done right, it doesn’t just “show” the restaurant—it invites followers into the experience.
Every Plate Has a Story—Let’s Tell It
What makes that risotto unforgettable? Is it the hint of truffle oil? The hours spent crafting the broth? Or the chef’s Italian grandmother who passed down the recipe?
Your content should answer those questions before they’re even asked.
Michael teaches us to dig deeper:– Who grew the vegetables?– Where was the wine sourced?– What inspired the plating style?
A simple food photo becomes a compelling narrative when paired with storytelling that draws people in. It builds emotional connection, trust—and anticipation.
Behind Every Bite, There’s a Person
In fine dining, the spotlight isn’t just on the dish—it’s also on the people who make it happen. The chef’s hands. The sommelier’s smile. The line cook’s quiet focus.
Michael encourages restaurants to humanize their brand through:👨🍳 Short chef interviews📷 Back-of-house photo series🎞️ Mini-documentaries on signature dishes
This not only builds engagement but deepens the connection between your restaurant and your audience. In a world craving authenticity, faces matter.
