In Chicago, expect doner kebab, shakshuka, and even more vegetables. In Vancouver, sustainable food and veggie bowls will soon be at the forefront. Nationwide, diners should prepare for a glut of noodles, hummus, and/or “creative condiments,” depending on who you ask. The end of the year, in other words, marks the time when prognosticators guess what food trends will take over 2017, and the hive mind often lands on varying results.
“Predicting food trends like these has become as much an American holiday tradition as ordering an eggnog latte,” the New York Times’ Kim Severson wrote in a 1,600-word look at the balance between art and science that goes behind each trend list. (The gist: It’s mostly a crapshoot, though consumers should pay attention to the list’s source — often, like in a widely shared listactually authored by Whole Foods, they’re from retailers and PR firms with something at stake.)
Some lists show consensus, which means those items might be legitimate trends in the next 12 months (congrats, vegetables, food waste, and Filipino cuisine). Others, like naan pizza, nutritional yeast, and that catch-all phrase “authentic ethnic cuisine” might also pop up on plates next year — because why not? So here now, a collection of all the highly unscientific predictions made by restaurant industry associations, food media, and brands so far this year, which congeal into the Official Megalisticle of All 2017 Food Trend Listicles:
