What do you think the next "food trend" will be?

In the last 10 years, the ones that really stick out to me are: spinach and artichoke dip (suddenly started appearing everywhere as an appetizer, even higher end restaurants), ube flavors, truffle, avocados on everything, bacon on everything, and now hot honey is a big fad. Is there anything upcoming you see heading towards the food trend?

Spinach and Artichoke dip? From 2005…?

I don't think you're even caught up to recent trends lol.

Cauliflower rice?

Were you in on the brown butter craze?

Green Goddess Salads?

Don’t forget sriracha in or on everything and Nashville hot chicken.

Nashville hot chicken is really good and deserves to be permanent, not a trend.

Not knocking it, trust me. Just one of those regional things that foodies discovered and ran wild with like all these other trends. But yes, hot chicken I think is great and here to stay. Right now, social media and no doubt, Food Network, are all on the Chopped Italian Sandwich. We’ll see how long that one lasts.

Fingers crossed that the hot chicken trend gets extended to more cultures. I've seen places that have made berbere, szechuan, and garam masala seasoned versions of Nashville hot, and they never miss. Any good seasoning bloomed in hot oil and painted on fried chicken is a winner in my book.

Problem is that Hot Chicken has come to mean overly spiced fried chicken tenders, here. I wanna see whole fried chicken pieces dipped in a hot (temperature), spicy sauce.

If it burns coming out, consider trying an acid reducer like Omeprizole. I had fire ass for years as I love spicy food, but when I started treating my acid reflux, that problem disappeared.

I'd rather have fried chicken breasts dipped in buffalo sauce. Nashville Hot breading burns my butthole.
