CHEFS PREDICT

“What’s Hot” FOR MENU TRENDS IN 2017

National Restaurant Association Surveys American Culinary Federation Chefs

December 8, 2016 Washington, D.C. — Each year, the National Restaurant Association surveys nearly 1,300 professional chefs – members of the American Culinary Federation (ACF) – to explore food and beverage trends at restaurants in the coming year.

The annual “What’s Hot” list gives a peak into which food, beverages and culinary themes will be the new items on restaurant menus that everyone is talking about in 2017.

According to the survey, menu trends that will be heating up in 2017 include poke, house-made charcuterie, street food, food halls and ramen. Trends that are cooling down include quinoa, black rice, and vegetarian and vegan cuisines.

TOP 20 FOOD TRENDS 1. New cuts of meat (e.g. shoulder tender, oyster steak, Vegas Strip Steak, Merlot cut) 2. Street food-inspired dishes (e.g. tempura, kabobs, dumplings, pupusas) 3. Healthful kids’ meals 4. House-made charcuterie 5. Sustainable seafood 6. Ethnic-inspired breakfast items (e.g., chorizo scrambled eggs, coconut milk pancakes) 7. House-made condiments 8. Authentic ethnic cuisine 9. Heirloom fruit and vegetables 10. African flavors 11. Ethnic spices (e.g. harissa, curry, peri peri, ras el hanout, shichimi) 12. House-made sausage 13. House-made pickles 14. Ancient grains (e.g. kamut, spelt, amaranth, lupin) 15. House-made/artisan ice cream 16. Whole grain items in kids’ meals 17. Protein-rich grains/seeds (e.g., hemp, chia, quinoa, flax) 18. Artisan cheeses 19. Savory desserts 20. Gourmet items in kids’ meals TOP 10 CONCEPT TRENDS 1. Hyper-local sourcing (e.g. restaurant gardens, onsite beer brewing, house-made items) 2. Chef-driven fast-casual concepts 3. Natural ingredients/clean menus 4. Environmental sustainability 5. Locally sourced produce 6. Locally sourced meat and seafood 7. Food waste reduction 8. Meal kits (e.g. pre-measured/prepped raw ingredients for home preparation) 9. Simplicity/back to basics 10. Nutrition

By:

“Menu trends today are beginning to shift from ingredient-based items to concept-based ideas, mirroring how consumers tend to adapt their activities to their overall lifestyle philosophies, such as environmental sustainability and nutrition,” said Hudson Riehle, Senior Vice President of Research for the National Restaurant Association. “Also among the top trends for 2017, we’re seeing several examples of house-made food items and various global flavors, indicating that chefs and restaurateurs are further experimenting with from-scratch preparation and a broad base of flavors.”

“Chefs are on an endless quest to redefine how consumers eat,” commented ACF National President Thomas Macrina, CEC, CCA, AAC. “By masterfully transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, culinary professionals are at the forefront of changing the culinary landscape.”

The National Restaurant Association surveyed 1,298 American Culinary Federation members in October 2016, asking them to rate 169 items as a “hot trend,” “yesterday’s news,” or “perennial favorite” on menus in 2017.

Get ready:

New I-9 form is set for January 2017 Restaurant and other employers will soon be required to use a revised version of the government’s I-9 form when hiring new employees.

December 2, 2016 The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, published its new version of the form Nov. 14. Beginning Jan. 22, 2017, all U.S. employers must start using it.

Employers can use the current version, dated March 8, 2013, until Jan. 21. After that, they must use the form dated Nov. 14, 2016.

I-9 forms are used to verify an employee’s identity and eligibility to work in the United States.

The USCIS said the revised three-page form will be easier to complete on a computer. It also is designed to reduce confusion and will help employers avoid technical errors that could result in hefty fines. The changes include: Prompts to ensure information is entered correctly. It will notify the user of any missing fields, dates inputted incorrectly and social security numbers that are missing a digit.

Improved naming convention. Employees now only need to provide “other last names used” rather than “all other names” used. This is expected to avoid possible discrimination issues and protect privacy of transgender and other individuals who have changed their first names.

A dedicated area for additional information. Employers currently provide this in the margins of the form.

Other enhancements include: Drop-down lists and calendars.

Embedded instructions that pop up when the cursor hovers over each field.

Instructions separate from the form. Employers are still required to present the instructions to employees completing the form.

Buttons that allow users to access instructions electronically, print the form, and clear the form to start over.

A QR code that’s generated once the form gets printed. This can streamline and facilitate auditor reviews.

The USCIS said employers must remember that the revised I-9 form must still be printed out so employees and/ or their preparers can sign them. They can be stored on- or off-site in a single format or combination of formats, such as paper, microfilm or microfiche, or electronically.
