GSF chefs always watch the top flavor trends to predict how emerging tastes will manifest themselves on menus. So, what’s on their radar at the moment? 👨🍳 👩🍳 With pop-up restaurants, social media inspirations, and the blurring of lines between casual and high-end dining at a peak, the time of unbridled blending has arrived. Additionally, the fast-paced intermingling of cultural cuisines has consumers seeking further-reaching flavors made familiar to them through this myriad of sources. Our chefs expect to see restaurants putting more emphasis on flavor morphing. “Swicy" (sweet and spicy) combinations, as well as sweet and sour blends, will showcase more complexity and authenticity driven by Southeast Asian influences. Also, favorite American regional dishes will incorporate global twists like Vietnamese Cajun or California-Mexican-Asian mash-ups. Anything goes with fusion unhinged! Possibilities to Savor: 😋 Miso Hollandaise Breakfast Sauce 😋 Kimchee Mayo 😋 Asian Comeback Sauce 😋 Creole Coffee Hoisin BBQ 😋 Smoky Tamarind Limeade 😋 Coconut Lime Coffee Cooler Share in the comments your ideas and insights about Fusion Unhinged from your latest dining and/or cooking experiences. Our next monthly Flavor Watch update will be out in June. 🗓 👀 #GoldenStateFoods #FlavorWatch #foodtrends #foodinsights #foodinnovation #foodserviceindustry #menuideas #menudevelopment #menuinnovations
