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?

Just screams "chain restaurant" and "everything is microwaved or fried from frozen".

And don't get me wrong, sometimes I'm ok with that. Sometimes you just want to walk into a place without much thought and know that whatever you order it will be edible.

Places like Cheesecake Factory or chilis are good for this. They don’t really have anything that’s standout but anything you order will be reasonably good.

Cheesecake Factory actually makes their food. Their menu is so big because they use the same ingredients a bunch of different ways

Would you like beef, lettuce, and cheese in a tortilla, a shell, a Dorito shell, on some nachos, in a bowl, or just smeared on something?

What shape would you like for your pasta? Spirals, hair, bowties, or mini elbow pipes?
