“Restaurants and Institutions” magazine came up with 20 new trends they predict to come forth in this year. One of the first predictions they made which I found intriguing was that chefs are starting to provide cheaper cuts of meat. I can see how this will be affective because of the economy right now, but I also wouldn’t expect all restaurants to lower their standards in a way like that.
Another prediction they have made for this coming year, is about midday dining. They see the brown baggers dwindling and returning to the restaurant scene for lunch breaks. This change has occurred and will keep occurring because more and more restaurants are offering “express lunches” for business people. These meals are items like sandwiches and sliders with sides of chips and cookies and a drink, all for a flat rate.
The last trend that is new and incoming that I found to be very interesting is the fact that many chefs are finding more and more items to deep fry. With many people on health kicks you wouldn’t think that deep fried items would be a large hit. Unknown to popular belief chefs are deep frying items like chicken and apple pies to even pickles.

As I am looking through the list of trends I am noticing a lot things that I have been doing my whole life. For instance the midday dining is something I enjoy doing, because it allows for the full digestion of a meal prior to going to bed. Lunch should be the heaviest meal of the day not dinner. Burgers need to be better and smaller, with more flavor and less condiments at topping.
ReplyDeleteThe whole putting eggs on everything is an awesome idea; today I put an over easy egg on whole wheat toast with herb brie cheese. It was utterly delicious, and would recommend it to anyone.
The trends for 2010 are going to be interesting to see how popular they become and to see which ones will become solid trends and what will become fads.
If chefs are starting to peovide cheaper cuts of meat, it is good for customer. Right now, economy is bad situation so people getting stop eat outside. I like second predictions which is Asian fusion. Now, people easily eat to Asian food. Many restarants use Asian food for appetizer.
ReplyDeleteI must say that one of these trends was executed in my 4061 class. A group did a salad with a fried egg on top and bacon bits throughout the salad. It was like breakfast in a salad. I must agree with Justin as I read through this article I felt that I do most of these trends on a daily basis, the downscale dining, the midday dining and the eggs. I feel that people have been doing this for years and it has gone unnoticed, I guess 2010 is the year to try everything once.
