Hyper-Regional Cuisine Some of the 2019 culinary trends will still be alive and thriving in 2021. Chefs aren’t just cooking up a “classic dish from Germany” anymore – they’re differentiating recipes from Brandenburg versus Bavaria, and the consumers love it! Guests enjoy feeling a part of various cultures, especially if they find a particular culture in their own genealogy. Creating delicious hyper-regionalized recipes and describing them in detail on the menu gives our guests a chance to learn more than ever before.vii Side note: Hyperlocal cuisine is also still vastly popular. Many consumers prefer the freshness of real foods grown or raised right around their homes. Hormone-Free, Organic Meats Many customers are aware of the benefits of all things natural – nontoxic professional cleaning products, organic fruits and vegetables, and hormone-free meats.
Organic, grass-fed, grass-finished, hormone-free… consumers are calling for a change in the meat industry. They are ready and willing to pay more for meat that comes from healthy animals. When a chef can put “100% grass-fed and grass-finished” on the menu, they are going to make some health-conscious individuals very happy! It can be challenging to acquire organic meat, when it only takes up 1.4% of the meat market, and organic poultry can be even more difficult to find. Fortunately, most consumers understand the cost will be higher and are willing to pay the difference.viii Side note: Red meat has gained popularity over the past couple of years, due to trending diets like paleo, keto and high protein. Diverse Whole Grain Options Many consumers still appreciate a hot, soft piece of bread. They’re also broadening their horizons to incorporate more healthful and whole grain options than ever before. ● Real sourdoughs ● Antique grains ● Heritage wheats ● Local, organic, and GMO-free breads and cereals ● Artisan bread ● Ciabatta ● Asian breads ● Middle Eastern breads ● Flatbread ● Focaccia The tradition lives on – we’re still drooling over fresh bread made in-house! There are more options than ever, and health-minded consumers might be eager to see gluten-free bread, ancient grains and more on the menu.
