Minimalist Menus Are Here To Stay, According To 2023 Trend Predictions - Tasting Table

Image
Three heavy hitters in the food industry have released their "What's Hot 2023" report, with research from the National Restaurant Association , Technomic, and the American Culinary Federation (ACF), which gathered at least 500 professional foodies, culinary leaders, and chefs to arrive at a consensus for upcoming trends. A crucial goal was predicting how restaurant menus would change for the year 2023, and their results indicate that menu streamlining, or minimalism is among the groups' Top Three Macrotrends. The other two things they predict you will see more of are comfort foods and more local dining experiences. While they note that inflation  has created a desire for more customer value when dining out, they also observe that the cost of home groceries is outpacing menu prices, so folks will still be able to justify dining at their favorite spots. The trick will be for those restaurants to keep costs under control as they emerge from three years of pandemic-rela...

Restaurants showing meals' carbon footprint on menus - Energy Live News - Energy Made Easy

Image
It was made law earlier this year for places to eat with more than 250 staff to legally show the calorie count of meals on menus – but one restaurant has gone a step further. Mexican chain Wahaca has decided to not only display a meal’s calorific count but also its carbon footprint. Thomasina Miers, the chain’s Co-Founder, said: “When the government started telling us that we had to put calories on our menus, we thought it was a nice opportunity to start talking about carbon.” She explained the decision was made to show customers the steps they can take in their own lives to mitigate climate change – and to stop the environmental issue being so overwhelming. “Calories are not a brilliant way to determine how healthy food is and they’re definitely not a good way to determine whether it’s good for the planet. [Carbon labels] help them realise that they do actually have quite a lot of power at their fingertips. “Food choices are political. If we begin to realise this and start voti...

What the Movie 'The Menu' Gets Right About Fine Dining - Vulture

Image
Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy. Photo: Eric Zachanowich/Searchlight Pictures/20th Century Studios Occasionally, it is necessary to convene a conversation between Vulture writers to discuss an important and timely issue in culture. Sometimes, however, we must call for reinforcements — so we got Grub Street writer Chris Crowley and former New York restaurant critic Adam Platt together to discuss what The Menu gets right about the world of very fine dining. In Mark Mylod’s viciously delicious dark comedy, the world of interminable, ridiculously priced tasting menus, high-minded diners (and critics), and egomaniacal chefs gets its comeuppance. The film follows a food-obsessed diner named Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) and his date Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) on their journey to Hawthorne, a destination restaurant located somewhat menacingly and realistically on a private island in the Pacific Northwest. The chef is Julian Slowick (played with malicious delight by Ralph Fiennes), wh...

Lettuce could come back to Canadian menus within a few weeks - hortidaily.com

Image
With lettuce pricing starting to come back down this week, the popular vegetable should come back to the Canadian restaurant menus it has been eliminated from temporarily in the near future. Last week, lettuce made headlines in Canada following reports it was being pulled from menus temporarily. Restaurants such as SanRemo Bakery in Toronto, for example, posted their sandwiches on social media behind a sign indicating there would be no lettuce on them. Supplies of green leaf, romaine, and iceberg have been short in California’s Salinas Valley due to a combination of warm, dry weather, which created plants susceptible to disease, including the Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) seen in large swaths of the Salinas Valley for over three months. In addition, production is transitioning as well to the desert region in the U.S. on lettuce, all of which has created record-high pricing. “There would have been better supply if there hadn’t been the virus,” says Richard Donsky of Mister Produ...

Four of Madrid's most mouthwatering menus of the day - Financial Times

Image
This article is part of a new guide to Madrid from FT Globetrotter To eat well and for good value in Spain, the menú del día, or “menu of the day”, remains unbeatable. First introduced by Franco’s government in 1964 as a fixed price menú turístico , it was a low-price deal that restaurants were obliged to offer as part of a wider effort to attract tourism in Spain — also likely inspired in part by the daily menus offered in France at the time. As the quality gradually improved over the years, it evolved into the menú del día , becoming a Spanish institution. The format is simple: a first and second course, plus dessert or coffee, and generally bread plus a glass of wine, beer or soft drink are included, for about €12-15. You’ll be asked to choose from a few options for the first course, and again for the second, which tends to be either fish or meat. Finally, a dessert, such as arroz con leche (rice pudding) , flan or fruit. These options will either be written on a blackboard ...

How Whole Fish Took Over Restaurant Menus In 2022 - Tasting Table

Image
While whole fish is emerging as a trend in the U.S., the dish is nothing new in other cultures' cuisines. Per The Spruce Eats , whole fish is commonplace in Korea. Chinese lifestyle outlet The Woks of Life states that steamed whole fish is found on most Cantonese tables during holidays, formal weddings, Chinese New Year, and other special occasions. At Bonnie's , a new Williamsburg (N.Y.) Cantonese-American spot that's taking the city by storm, a deboned, stuffed rainbow trout called "yeung yu sang choi bao" is on the menu .  During 2022, restaurants nationwide are serving whole fish grilled, steamed, broiled, smoked, roasted, wrapped in pasta, crusted in salt, and pan seared, via Nation's Restaurant News  – for a good reason, too. It's a move for sustainability: Nose-to-tail eating reduces food waste. Per The Spruce Eats , fish skin, head, tail, and fins are all edible. Depending the fish and how it's prepared, you can eat the bones, too. In fact, ...

Ralph Fiennes cooks up culinary heaven and hell in 'The Menu' - Reuters

Image
LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult get served a meal to die for in "The Menu", a satirical thriller set in the world of fine dining. The "Queen's Gambit" and "X-Men" stars play Margot and Tyler, a young couple who gets whisked a way to a remote private island hosting the exclusive gastronomic establishment "Hawthorne" and its many vegetable patches, farm animals, beehives and live-in staff dormitories. The two are part of a select group of 12 who have paid a small fortune to dine at the restaurant run by the celebrated American chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). Unbeknownst to his wealthy guests, Slowik and his team of robot-like professionals have planned a one-off menu with some unexpected ingredients especially for them. But the arrival of Margot seems to sour Slowik's concoction. The movie pokes fun at its moneyed guests, their ostentatio...
