With 2020 being one of the most challenging years of most people s lives, it s not shocking that menu experts are predicting that 2021 will feature two extremely different flavor profiles Team Comfort Food vs. Team Healthier Options. Although there was a bit of a debate on which would take the top spot, most experts agreed that we are in for a reset. There was nothing new for 2020, since not only did we go into quarantine, so did trend parents, Suzy Badaracco, president of Culinary Tides, told FastCasual. With parents being quiet, there was no forward motion for trend inspiration for the last year. We have to start over for 2021.
