So we're halfway into the year practically and I was just thinking about the trends so far this year.
Here's a list I observed:
Hot Dogs/Sausages
All types of tacos except Mexican ones
Slow food in trucks
Even slower food in carts
High-Low fare in restaurants
Ridiculous ice cream flavors
Shutting down restaurants
Donuts
Five Dollar Footlongs
Mini Burgers/Sliders
Awesome Mini Burger commercials
Chicharrones
While there maybe great things within the creation of these items and some good things on this list, it mostly blows. Anyone want to bring back tuna tartar? Excuse my while I curb my enthusiasm for what may be coming the rest of the year.
Thoughts?

Macarons- that's another trend
ReplyDeleteSeems like it's all about cheap comfort foods, lots of familiar foods with gussied up flavors. I'm waiting for the over-designed mini casserole lounge trend to surface.
ReplyDeletethe reinvention of asian sandwiches? ala the banh mai?
ReplyDeleteWhat about drink trends? Pisco has been all up in my grill.
ReplyDeleteBacon.
ReplyDeleteIt's the new cheese, ready and waiting to convalesce the mediocre items it's being added to.
I beg to differ. Though I love bacon, it's popularity and versatility are not new. Dig deeper.
ReplyDeleteNow pizza is not new either but shit... we now have many more wood burning pizza oven choices. Trend?
