Posted March 20, 201411 yr fun & tasty food fads, but i wonder if any will have legs and stay on the menu longer than spring? http://nypost.com/2014/03/18/step-aside-cronut-7-new-culinary-concoctions-for-spring/
August 12, 201410 yr Yelp has released some graphs showing the popularity of certain items over the past few years. Poutine has exploded in LA!
August 13, 201410 yr I bet 2007 was about the time Frisch's quit selling liver & onions... I had friend who went to Frisch's and ordered a Philly Cheese Steak with no onions. With a side of onion rings. Are still people p!$$ed off about the switch from Coke to Pepsi? Is the "fudge" on Hot Fudge Cakes made of real chocolate? I feel like UrbanOhio should have a dedicated Frisch's thread.
August 13, 201410 yr Yelp has released some graphs showing the popularity of certain items over the past few years. Poutine has exploded in LA! Poutine has exploded in San Francisco too. It's huge everywhere now. My biggest beef is that San Francisco shops like to put pork belly on it. I hate pork belly. And Yelp knows PBR was never that big in San Francisco or the Bay Area. Tecate is the hipster beer out here.
August 13, 201410 yr Yelp knows PBR was never that big in San Francisco or the Bay Area. Tecate is the hipster beer out here. And at its core, San Francisco will always be a vodka town no matter how much bourbon heads want it to take over. SF was a pioneer in vodka cocktails and is home to Skyy. I'd say the city in general is a cocktail town (I'd say the same about LA). That's where all the big things are happening and where the trendiest bars are at. Both SF and Oak have breweries, but they're small and you can't get the beers at most bars...except for Anchor Steam, the original. Portland beats all of California when it comes to beer obsession. I don't think any of our breweries out here are that good. They usually fail with the darker beers. The obsession with IPA's got old three years ago. I think Great Lakes and Bell's beat all West Coast breweries pretty handily...though I'll concede things are improving.

August 13, 201410 yr There will be a very good poutine place opening up some in CLE. Poutine is definitely on the up
August 13, 201410 yr I'm not a fan of west coast beers either. I think Wisconsin has some of the best btw - New Glarus is worth a trip to.

August 13, 201410 yr In interesting one to look at anywhere, but especially on the West Coast, is “pork belly.” It was literally not a thing in the US a few years ago, and now everyone is using it, even though it’s just uncut bacon. Some places just use thick bacon and call it pork belly to sound more sophisticated.

It seemed like there was pork belly on everything.

August 15, 201410 yr "Small Plates" the bane of my existence (luckily they are leveling off) - such a ripoff: http://www.yelp.com/trends?terms=small+plates&city=chicago&category=restaurants
August 15, 201410 yr I hope the next trend is anti-small plates...aka BUFFETS! THAI BUFFET! NEPALESE BUFFET! CROATIAN BUFFET! ANGOLAN BUFFET!!! BUFFETS FOR ALL!!!

August 18, 201410 yr When are cafeterias going to come back? That's all most fast casual places are anyway.
September 5, 201410 yr ^ eh, you dont really. over-rated. any deli or grocery deli is better. potbelly is better. pret shrunk the sizes too, but i guess everything has contracted lately except prices.
