Wedding Catering in Auburn

Here's some food predictions for 2020. Do you think any of these will be popular for catering in Auburn.

Japanese Italian Food

“I think there will be a rise in itameshi cuisine! Itameshi, which translates to 'Italian food' in Japanese and is the melding of Japanese and Italian cuisines, has risen in popularity in recent years. Both country’s recipes are similarly tradition- and ingredient-driven, with a focus on perfecting singular dishes and techniques over time. They also have categorical foods that echo one another: crudos and sashimi, spaghetti and ramen, and wood-fired, whole roasted meats, whether on a robata or in a pizza oven. Many Japanese chefs have gone to Italy to apprentice and come home with traditional Italian cooking techniques that they then use with Japanese ingredients. Itameshi dishes meld the cuisines of two countries that at first glance seem different, but upon diving deeper perfectly complement each other.” — Gene Kato, chef/partner of Momotaro in Chicago

Grandparent Food

“I think tradition will be very important in 2020, the food of our grandparents. Foods that represent personal and shared histories, without fuss.” — Josh Kulp, chef at Honey Butter Fried Chicken in Chicago

Tea Station

Forget those poorly packaged tea bags. We’re talking authentic tea bars that offer many varieties of tea and tout its considerable health benefits.

You might be saying to yourself, this isn’t England who’s drinking tea instead of coffee? Turns out many as research shows three cups of tea per every cup of coffee are consumed worldwide.

Try this: Floral flavors could unseat the pumpkin spice obsession, according to the Whole Foods predictions. Botanicals and notes like rose and lavender will fill glasses for health-conscious drinkers looking to curtail their booze consumption.

Bright Bold Coloring

For both event planners and caterers, shareability is key when it comes to getting the word out. With a modern attendee base who loves to share their meals via Instagram, food plays into that shareability in a big way. As such, look to menus to cater to bright, bold colors that attendees just can’t help but share.
