I was just wondering whether SQ's International Culinary Panel makes a difference for you ? In the sense of, for example:
(i) influencing you to order a meal option inflight because it's created by one of the panel members; or
(ii) eating at one of their restaurants ?
Up till now I would have said "no" to both but this week, I was browsing Amazon to fill up an order for free delivery and I came across Yoshiro Murata's Japanese kaiseki book. I recognised his name only from the SQ publicity, bought the book and having had a glance through it today (lots of pictures of beautifully presented Japanese food), I will probably try one of his restaurants when I visit Kyoto again later this year.
I imagine being on the SQ panel is a big thing as far as (say) SIN's Sam Leong is concerned but presumably doesn't mean THAT much to the other big names (other than, presumably, free or discounted SQ F flights)!
