Restaurant food trends for 2014

The foodservice research and consulting firm Technomic, has identified several, based on visiting restaurants in cities across the country and using its MenuMonitor database.  They say, number one, consumers want to be assured that what they are eating is real, they want complete descriptions and they very much favor locally sourced foods.  Another is the widening options for proteins – the rising costs for beef mean that chicken will be big again in 2014 but pork is a projected rising protein star- served in regional barbecue dishes, Hispanic and other ethnic fare. Also more lamb and game meats, egg entrees and vegetarian alternatives will widen the protein choices.
