“The big supertrend is all the microtrends.”
That’s what Datassential Executive Chairman Jack Li shared at Innovations, our annual trade show. With no single ingredient, cuisine, or flavor dominating the culinary world, chefs have plenty of room to play with menus to entice curious consumers.
His words were echoed on the show floor, where exhibitors presented samples inspired by a wide range of trends at Trend Explorer, our new tasting event for national account attendees. We covered three of these trends in our first article: big and bold, down-to-earth, and escapism. Now, let’s dive into the remaining trends: European 2.0, health and wellness, newstalgia, and the unexpected.
