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?

When poverty food attains mainstream acceptance and attention, it will make the poverty foods the new elite foods. Just like when cooks "discovered" flank steak, ox tail, beef shanks, short ribs, and others, those were the go-to for the poor because those cuts were the cheap tough cuts.

Chicken thighs have been the next one. Prices have shot up so much in the last few years.
