ITT We predict food trends that will occur in the US and possibly Europe within the next 10 years
>Okonomiyaki will become one of the most recognizable Japanese dishes, although not as famous as sushi
>Korean Fried Chicken will become just as popular as Southern Fried Chicken
>Fish sauce will become as overused as Sriracha for a while but will settle into a normal position like soy sauce and be used appropriately.

Literally where? Never heard of it.
Korean fried chicken is already a big thing in Australia.
And fish sauce will NEVER catch on. Even Vietnamese rice rolls are served mostly with peanut sauce these days. Average palate just can't hack it.
I hope youre right about omellete pancakes. Much prefer the Jap Korean versions.
OP,
How did you come to this premonition.

Okonomiyaki is yummy but wont catch on, not before stuff like yakisoba or teppanyaki.
Korean Fried Chicken will become popular but only in urban areas, not in the heartland, and def not as popular as southern fried chicken or buffalo wings
Fish sauce is way too weird for western palates. I say oyster sauce is more likely, but even still I don't see it.

It's short for United Kingdom

Wait, I though United Kingdom was long for UKRAINE

What does teppanyaki mean to you, because pretty much all the Benihana places are teppenyaki?
Okonomiyaki will catch on because its so customizable. Its like American sushi except literally everything is ok. Theres won't be any people complaining about what is "real" okonomiyaki and such

This is already happening if you don't live in flyover town. Just be glad you're so irrelevant the food trucks haven't caught on.
i really hope okonomiyaki does catch on so i get to try it.

it already has among foodies

In 2017 or 2018, New York will be all over smorrebrod.
Japanese style pubs (izakaya) will become much more common. Newer ones will feature local craft beer rather than asian pisswater as well as sake and whisky. Feature food will be ramen or udon with various deep fried sides and possibly some donburi.
wish okonomiyaki would become more spread out
it's very instagrammable, so it should be possible

teppanyaki is a 90s meme
I project that this will be very popular in Europe in about 10 years

is this a refugee joke? because we've been eating kebabs for ages now

agree this will be big. there are a of them in dc already, and dc sucks for food, so i imagine they're all over.
at least one place in most markets -> somewhere that serves sushi rolls the size of burritos. already one in dc and it's crazy popular
i think there's a real gap in the 'brunch' market - 'brunch' is no longer cool, in style or special, so something will have to fill that role. i think that ramen might take over. certainly something along the lines of 'ethnic breakfast item'. mexican and latin american stuff are kind of gone too.
i could see some trendy charcuterie themed food trucks doing ok. i think really good 'italian sandwich' trucks are going to pop up to counteract the insurgence of asian fusion.
also fish sauce is too abrasive for a lot of palettes
have a friend who works for a food truck/restaurant incubator and could easily get funding. haha carefully following this thread for ideas
>>7103582
How does one get a job working at a restaurant incubator? I'm guessing related experience and connections?
i want very badly for bibimbap to get big in america
>>7102048
Needs more fat

connections mostly - but you can definitely just google 'food incubator' + yourcityname and then apply through their site for general labor sort of positions or even business analyst stuff.

Holy Shit, this

Benihana's is an event, it's time-consuming and relatively expensive. By teppanyaki I mean something like pic related. It's already big in Taiwan and Hong Kong, cheap, quick, and mildly impressive the first time you see it.
