How to Show Respect on the Table | APWASI | Wine And Dine Etiquette | Dr. Clinton Lee

Hi, I do have a problem with my health and dining etiquette, I can't swallow any food because I have a throat problem, I work as a director of food and beverages and most likely I will be invited for an important dinner this week. I can have only liquids like soup, wine, drinks, and coffee. What can I do? I control 165 people including chefs, so I try their food to taste it only, but never eat. I bring my lunch from home.
