Based on a recent study conducted by Sterling-Rice Group – the culinary landscape is changing in a way that supports longer-term growth for many trends. The study, which was aided by restauranteurs, chefs & experts on a global scale, shows a top 6 for “trendjectories” that are destined to become impossible to ignore. Coffee+Spice: Coffee is getting kicked up a notch with flavors highlighted throughout the coffee itself (cinnamon, herbs). Homage is paid to Asia with U-mami (Chinese street food) and Trendy Tea and The Chickpea (a blend of Chinese, Laotian, Indian, and Thai) both making the hot list. Moringa, a superfood originating from the Tree of Life & Slow Dough, which boasts a longer fermentation time and easier digestion process, are also expected to be very on-trend. Last but not least, objectification and perfecting pictures of food on social media sites such as Instagram will still rule the food world.

Key Takeaways:

  • An international team of restaurant owners, foodies, and chefs are making culinary predictions for 2018.
  • One of their picks is a rise in slow fermented dough for use in bread and pizzas that will add a unique pop to old favorites.
  • They also think all things tea will move to the fore as herbal Asian flavors will charge into cups on their way to diners’ palates.

“Coffee + Spice is Everything Nice: Say goodbye to café lattes and hello to the flavor and functional benefits that herbs and spices add; think chai-style coffee or coffee layered with flavors of cinnamon, orange zest and clove.”

Cafeterias are ubiquitous to the American experience and so is the indifferent shrug normally associated with them. But a new trend is taking the cafeteria set up and making it trendy and tasteful. Little Beet and Lemonade, to name two establishments, work on the premise that it’s a healthier form of fast food but one the patron makes on his own. Dig Inn restaurant group takes that even further and keeps buffets small. Either way the kitchen does it, cafeteria food isn’t going to get an eye roll much longer.

Key Takeaways:

  • Cafeteria style restaurants are designed to serve many customers efficiently, by limiting options and keeping the line moving.
  • Some cafeteria restaurants are attempting to leave the old notions of what a cafeteria is behind by updating it.
  • Modern cafeteria twists keep the line, but offer customers customization options at every serving station along the way.

“If there’s one place every American diner over the age of 5 has eaten, it’s a cafeteria. Ask them if they’re particularly happy with that experience, however, and the answer is probably no.”
