gazeronly/flickrInternational Food & Restaurant Consultants, Baum + Whiteman, have sent out their 2015 trend report.
In addition to hating on artisanal toast, Baum + Whiteman dispensed their advice to restaurants and hotels about what the new food trends will be next year.
High on their list is all things tech - from ordering to apps. They also think Sriracha will be replaced by honey-centric sauces (like hot honey) while hummus will take the place of guacamole.
And apparently, 2015 is about to become the year of the insects.
