1. Better-for-you foods
The demand for healthy options is still strong, but consumers’ perceptions of healthy eating have changed, said Lizzy Freier and Aimee Harvey, menu analysts and managing editors with Technomic.
2. The power of plants
At a session about discovering menu trends, Neil Doherty, senior director of culinary development for Sysco and corporate executive chef, predicted that plant-forward and plant-based items will make up 50% of menus by 2025.
3. Labor-saving dishes
With the continuing shortage of kitchen workers and other back-of-house staff, operators will continue to seek out high-quality ingredients that reduce the need for labor, said Doherty.
4. Global flavor exploration
Younger consumers are more interested in trying ethnic flavors than they were a year ago, according to Technomic’s Flavor Consumer Trend Report, cited by Freier and Harvey in their presentation. Some niche global cuisines have now gone mainstream, including Peruvian and Korean.
5. Sauces as differentiators
Variations on housemade sauces and traditional condiments, such as mustard and salsa, are a way to introduce ethnic flavors and differentiate menu items without scaring off customers. Now operators are experimenting with local flavors, such as Nashville hot sauce, Mississippi comeback sauce and Carolina gold barbecue sauce, said Freier and Harvey.
6. Social media-driven menus
Instagram and Twitter are influencing menu development, as restaurants compete by playing up the “wow” factor in preparations and presentations, said Freier and Harvey. Doherty agreed, recommending that operators study these social media channels to discover the latest trends.
7. Elevated cheap eats
Chefs are playing around with homey ingredients, elevating their humble origins with innovative touches and techniques. Bologna and porridge are both showing up on menus more frequently, often gussied up with regional accents and upscale applications.
