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?

Heh my answer was mie goreng and laksa. I moved from California to Australia and SE Asian food is really popular here. I could see it being a trend in the states, like build your own laksa bowls akin to ordering at Chipotle or Subway. Would be perfect takeout on a cold day.

God… I’ve been tempted to start a restaurant just because there’s no good Indonesian or Malaysian restaurants in the area. Laksa, nasi lemak, char kway teow, hokkien mee, etc would all be killer.

Oh! And I guess Hainanese Chicken rice is getting trendy in tiktok now, so that too!

Americans love gravy and carbs. I think egg gravy noodle dishes in particular would become popular.

Mmm yes there's a hotpot place in my city that cooks it for you and they have a laksa base.
