extreme lunch meats are the food of the future wanna look into the future well no need to wait
with these 10 food Trends in 2023 that will change everything all you can do is drive
through and then I'm and then um then nothing else because I'm done ordering okay and then
as Trends continue towards ordering takeout instead of dining at the actual restaurant fast
food chains have begun tweaking their decades-old dine-in strategies to meet demand while pickup
orders are more popular than ever one particular chain is betting on the speed and convenience of
the good old-fashioned drive-through even if this drive-through isn't old-fashioned at all in June
of last year Taco Bell opened a trial Kitchen in Brooklyn Park Minnesota called Taco Bell defy and
in 2023 it is indeed defying all aspects of a traditional sit-down restaurant the futuristic
two-story building uses a hybrid elevator and conveyor belt system to have food travel
between both floors and out to customers and those customers are all on the other side of the window
because the entire Taco Bell is drive through only and looks more like a toll booth than a
taco joint Taco Bell defy features four sprawling drive-through Lanes Foley digital menu boards and
separate pickup lines for third-party pickup and mobile pickup orders isn't that futuristic
with no dining room inside or even a walk-up kiosk the experience is truly contactless as long as you
have a vehicle to get through it with otherwise you might have to hitchhike your way to your order
eco-friendly packaging it's actually a very eco-friendly process the food that comes from your
favorite Eatery isn't the only thing that's due for a change in the years to come the bags boxes
cups and tubs it's packaged in are in the process of getting overhauled this process isn't exactly
new as the good Folks at the golden arches spurred on a change back in 1990 at the time the clamshell
Burger packages McDonald's use for everyone's Quarter Pounders were made of polystyrene foam
the production of the material was found to be hazardous to the ozone layer and a problem once it
hit landfills public outcry forced a change from the restaurant since they accounted for over two
percent of all polystyrene usage and production across the United States back then while two
percent doesn't sound like much it equated to 10 million discarded Burger boxes a day which added
up to three and a half billion of them each year today recyclable cardboard Replacements are the
new normal for Burger Buffs so over 30 years later as 2023 rolls on so does the process of improving
takeout packaging Plastics are a major issue since they're not biodegradable which means they never
decompose for reuse and can end up with a lifespan of more than two centuries that's polluting due
to their environmental impact and inability to be recycled Plastics and Foams continue to be
eliminated from restaurant use in things like cups and Cutlery and next on the docket is that
suckable plastic straw that delivers delicious milkshakes and soda to your taste buds while
there's no Nationwide Federal mandate against pesky plastic straws as of October last year
28 different states have officially banned them in favor of paper or reusable Alternatives today
every part of the food packaging system in the service industry is being re-examined and new
options are constantly surfacing for materials including rice oat and Corn based substitutes
before you know it you'll be able to eat your doordash order and the box it came into delivery
domination surprised to get an order from you before midnight by the way how'd you like that
custom shrimp and potato pizza McDonald's is widely recognized as the Godfather of modern
fast food by innovating a cookie cutter production line system but they weren't the first to offer
customers the convenience of on-the-go service one of McDonald's early slogans buy and buy the bag is
eerily similar to White Castles by him by the sac marketing tool they debuted way back in 1927 when
they became the first food establishment to offer paper bag carryout what's this your food and in
2023 the whole concept of take out food continues to evolve beyond the original Brown Bag lunch
the Advent of third-party delivery companies has revolutionized the way food gets from a
restaurant to your door and provided avenues for establishments that don't have in-house delivery
drivers a way to provide that convenience through Front Runners like GrubHub doordash and ubereats
gig delivery companies raked in a collective 22.4 billion dollars back in 2021 and those numbers
can only be expected to increase into 2023 in response to having those companies take a cut of
their profits however restaurants and chains have released their in-house delivery apps to compete
with the expanding Market no matter which app you choose expect doorbells Across America to keep

picture me while Taco Bell is catering directly to drivers one other chains modernization attempts
is at least still letting customers inside the building Wendy's has introduced a new strategy
to help modernize their restaurant experience for the new influx of digital ordering and pickup the
concept is officially named Global next gen and the company was quoted as wanting a sleek and
Modern Standard for all of the new designs the first of these locations is planning to open in
Ohio sometime during the Spring of this year and will include forward-thinking Concepts to
help streamline both the takeout and dine insides of Wendy's for the digital age right now you can
follow your order online and in the interest of going green each of these fancy new locations will
be newly energy efficient to help decrease costs as well as decrease their carbon footprint Global
next gen locations feature separate up Windows and parking spaces for delivery drivers from places
like GrubHub or ubereats so that their specific orders don't clog the drive-throughs or the
lineups inside so much like the Taco Bell method they'll be geared towards mobile orders from both
couriers and customers but if you still feel like sitting inside with a cool Frosty don't worry you
still can it's cool to be cold ah another cold brew don't mind if I cold do forget the pumpkin
spice latte in 2023 it might be cold brew coffee that Baristas are recommending coffeeholics from
coast to coast have been ditching their hot morning cup of joe for a crisp chilled take
on the breakfast beverage from Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts and everywhere in between cold
brew coffee might be in line to be the new king of caffeine even McDonald's got into the chilled
coffee game selling iced coffee as part of their McCafe line a Starbucks press release last August
noted that chilled coffee beverages has made up three quarters of their total United States sales
in the third fiscal quarter of last year and like most trends for 2023 it's been percolating for
some time now in 2017 the cold brew coffee Market accounted for approximately 166 million dollars
of market sales just four years later that total U.S market value ballooned to over 1.2 billion
dollars in 2021 projections look for the market to have a total five-year market share increase
of 1.37 billion dollars by the time we get to 2025 if people keep Downing all that cold coffee
the numbers will surely keep going up waste not want not it's you and it's me and it wastes food
the fast food industry continues to rework its sales and production models to take advantage
of modern digital efficiencies and that trend is expanding to fine dining restaurants and
even household kitchens with efficiency and waste management in mind trends like Farm to
Table cooking and route to stem cooking are becoming extremely popular with the farm to
table movement carbon Footprints are reduced by eliminating unnecessary steps in production and
transportation and with route to stem parts of foods that would previously be thrown away
are being repurposed to be used in other dishes it's estimated that restaurants across the USA
create upwards of 33 billion pounds of food waste every calendar year supermarkets are even worse
contributing 43 billion pounds of wasted food each year and even on the home front a household
of four typically throws away almost three thousand dollars of usable food annually so keep

refined avocado oil has a higher smoke point than other plant-based cooking oils because it doesn't
start to burn until it hits 520 degrees which gives it a wider variety of uses it's also high

of probiotics they can also include things like tuna which is considered a brain friendly food or
dark chocolate which is a sweet dessert but also packed with antioxidants until you start serving

Eaves and Worthington it took a few decades to catch on but in 2002 Burger King became the
first American fast food chain to sell a veggie burger Coast to Coast what veggie burger please
