According to the
NY Daily News, we should all be on the lookout for 3 major food trends of 2011. And considering they have won TEN Pulitzer Prizes, I feel that we should pay attention.
Food trend number one: GOURMET AIRPORT FOOD
Well wouldn't that be nice? As someone who frequents LaGuardia airport, the idea of anything gourmet sounds like a dream. We all know that airport chinese food can, um, get a little old. But, according to our Pulitzer folks, LaGuardia will open more than a dozen restaurants, bars and cafes by next summer -- including a steakhouse by
Michael Lomonaco of Porter House New York, a pizza place from
Domenico DeMarco of Di Fara Pizza and a burger joint by
Pat LaFrieda, the famous meat purveyor.
Yes please.
Food trend number two: PIES!!!
Now, I don't know about you blog reader folk, but I love me some pie. I mean, I REALLY love me some pie. In fact, when the day comes, I plan to have wedding pie -- an endless assortment of wedding pie. And, despite their delightful messiness, I still plan to smash said pie into into the face of my unsuspecting mate. Perhaps we will invest in some aprons.
In NYC, pie-mania is spreading like crazy. And not just ordinary pies, mind you. At
Hill Country Chicken (1123 Broadway; 212-257-6446;
HillCountryChicken.com), you can get yourself your very own...pie shake. Yes. A milk shake with pie. Pie Shake. Brilliant
Food trend number three: GOURMET HOT DOGS
Yes, we all love a good hotdog (beef, pork, veggie, whatever). And yes, sometimes a little stadium mustard is all we need. But on those days when we crave the comfort of a good ole dog but can't ignore the excitement of our foodie curiosities, you can now find yourself a gourmet dog.
Crif dogs has been ahead of the trend for some time now and still rank as #1 in NYC. But, a few others are nipping (pun intended) at their heels.
And if you'd like to make your away around the world in 80 DOGS, here are some fabulous recipes you can try at home.
