Watch the interview
It was a great honor and privilege for Executive Chef Stylianos Digkas, Founder and President of Tastynation Global, to be hosted on the television program "Analyst" on Ena Channel, invited by journalist Apostolos Atzemidakis for a meaningful and highly engaging discussion centered around the vision, philosophy, and international development of Tastynation Global.
During the interview, an extensive conversation unfolded regarding the role that gastronomy can play in shaping a new international model of cultural and tourism development through cooperation, cultural exchange, and strategic interaction among nations. Through a series of insightful and well-placed questions, the discussion highlighted the growing importance of culinary diplomacy as a modern tool capable of connecting societies, preserving heritage, and creating bridges between people and cultures.
At the center of the discussion stood the philosophy and identity of Tastynation Global — an international culinary network that continues to expand rapidly across multiple countries, bringing together chefs, educators, gastronomy professionals, and distinguished international personalities under a shared vision of unity through gastronomy.
As emphasized during the interview, Tastynation Global is not simply an organization of chefs. It represents a modern international movement of gastronomy and cultural diplomacy, founded on principles of professionalism, ethics, education, collaboration, and mutual respect.
The organization aims to preserve and promote the culinary and cultural identity of nations while simultaneously encouraging innovation, professional growth, and international cooperation. Through its global structure, Tastynation Global seeks to create meaningful opportunities for cultural interaction, educational initiatives, professional exchanges, and collaborative international projects.
A central concept presented during the interview was the philosophy often described as the "politics of the cooking pot" — the belief that gastronomy possesses the unique ability to bring people closer together regardless of language, religion, nationality, or political differences. Through taste, tradition, culture, and shared experiences around the table, gastronomy becomes a universal language capable of strengthening understanding and human connection.
The interview also focused on the rapid international growth of Tastynation Global and its mission to develop a worldwide culinary community that serves not only the culinary profession, but also broader cultural and social cooperation between nations.
Executive Chef Stylianos Digkas expressed his sincere gratitude to journalist Apostolos Atzemidakis and Ena Channel for their professionalism, hospitality, and for providing the opportunity to publicly present the philosophy and international vision of Tastynation Global to a wider audience.
As Tastynation Global continues its international journey, its core philosophy remains unchanged:
One World • One Kitchen • One Family
