The year's top trends have emerged enticing!
2. No-Time Dining - some restaurants are extending their menus offering longer lunch hours, snacks and late night options. 3. Snacking - With more smaller meals including dim sum and tapas. 4. Grandma’s recipes - Tweaked with the latest cooking trends. 5. Homegrown gardens - Jump into the on site restaurant menu. 6. Mobile restaurants - High-class street food will soon be available on the street corner through more upscale carts. 7. iPad ordering - Servers in restaurants have begun trading their pads and pens for iPads or iPods to take your orders. 8. Potatoes - The spud is making a comeback in 2012. The potato is a great gluten-free alternative that is cheap and diverse. Health food experts are also singing the praises of the nutritional benefits of the potato, which is packed with minerals and nutrients, particularly the skin. Expect to see more dishes featuring a wide range of potatoes including purple potatoes, fingerlings, sweet potatoes and yams, and perhaps the resurgence of an old bar favourite – potato skins. 9. Healthier kids offerings - Recently, Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative in the U.S. has forced several large American chain restaurants to introduce healthier kids’ menus. Here, more restaurants are now offering healthier menu items for kids that feature more lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. 10. Beer pairings |
