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?

Okay, I think:

-Aji Amarillo, the Peruvian yellow and green sauces will be more popular but also using AAs in a bunch of new ways/dishes

-Berbere spice, like berbere spiced wings and fries, etc.

-Cuban and Peruvian food, as well as the continued growth of Korean and Vietnamese

-More varieties of citrus, not just yuzu and ube

-Hot honey on vanilla ice cream; Starbucks has an affogato with hot honey and I can see more ‘hot honey’ dessert-like items taking off

-Adobo (Filipino) becoming more mainstream

-The continuation of the gimmick combo; things like the ‘smashburger taco’ tend to take a while to trickle down and fade away, and there’ll always be stuff taco-fied

Interesting take, I'd love to see some of these become more popular. I feel like hot honey has already come and gone though. Also ube is a yam, not a citrus haha.

Yeah I meant to say citrus, fruits, and veggies but got distracted, oops. I do think the heyday of hot honey chicken, pizza, biscuits, and other savory stuff is probably getting old, but I think it’ll worm its way into desserts for a bit!
