The smell of hot, sizzling food reaches you several meters away, but to get the smell of cold food, you have to go closer because the rate of diffusion increases with increases in temperature.

Hot, sizzling food particles have high kinetic energy, which allows them to diffuse quickly in the air and travel a distance of several meters, as opposed to cold food particles, which have low kinetic energy and cannot travel a distance of several meters.
