Postres nostálgicos
"La buena comida y los buenos recuerdos van de la mano. Así que no es de extrañar que los postres nostálgicos se consideren una “gran tendencia” hoy en día. Todos tenemos un postre especial que recordamos, y los chefs harían bien en aprovechar esos dulces recuerdos” — CHEF ZELLER, chef ejecutivo corporativo, Simplot
Bacon, Egg and Cheddar Caramelized Onion Biscuit Sandwich
A late-night snack that really satisfies that breakfast craving. With crispy bacon, a fried egg, perfectly seasoned caramelized onions, and a tangy tzatziki avocado spread that brings all the flavors together.
Brazilian Churrasco Sandwich
What do meat lovers want for a late-night snack? Answer: This sandwich. With tender strips of seasoned beef, caramelized onions, melted provolone, tomato, creamy avocado and a punchy, bright chimichurri sauce. So good.
Carne Asada Fries Taco
You read that right, we put the fries right in the taco. Every bite has the perfect combination of carne asada, crispy fries, creamy guacamole, pico, and melted queso. Prepare to make a lot of these; they are going to be popular!
Spicy Fried Chicken and Dill Pickle Avocado Sandwich
Why settle for an average chicken sandwich when you can serve up this gem? Top a brioche bun with spicy fried chicken, crunchy coleslaw, and a generous amount of dill pickle avocado spread that really makes this sandwich next-level.
Tendencia #2: Platos vegetarianos pequeños
"Ya es habitual ver cómo las guarniciones que crecían como acompañamiento de los platos principales se convierten en los próximos favoritos del mundo de las aplicaciones para vegetarianos. Piense en la coliflor, las coles de Bruselas y, ahora, el brócoli rabe. Es una manera sencilla de presentar platos vegetarianos y de temporada con un toque global”. — CHEF ZELLER, chef ejecutivo corporativo, Simplot
Cheesy Guacamole Fries
Nachos? Cheeseburger fries? Delicious! So why not combine them for a secret menu winner? Crispy fries topped with nacho cheese, seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, dill pickle avocado, tomatoes and finish with a drizzle of fry sauce.
The Onion Lover's Burger
In this case, the name really does say it all. Load up a classic burger with perfectly seasoned caramelized onions, house-made garlic aioli, and Swiss cheese then serve it up with lettuce and tomato. (And napkins, lots of napkins.)
Munchies Chicken & Waffles To Go
These little “munchies” are so good they’ll have a following all their own. Spicy fried chicken bites and crispy bacon sandwiched between Maple City® Waffle Flavored Waffle Fries, finished with a drizzle of hot honey.
Elote Loaded Fries
How about a big plate of delicious loaded fries? Pile up a crispy plate of fries and top with roasted corn in a tangy, spicy sauce and a big dollop of guacamole. Finish them off with cotija and cilantro and watch them disappear.
Trend #3: Boujee Breakfast
“For many people, breakfast has transformed from mere sustenance to a culinary event where each bite offers a complex harmony of flavors. It’s not just about eating; it’s an art form where presentation and taste intertwine to create a memorable morning experience.” — CHEF ZELLER, Corporate Executive Chef, Simplot

Jalapeño Cornmeal Pancake Tacos
How about breakfast tacos with a pancake wrapper shell? Fluffy, golden corn pancakes filled with grilled Andouille sausage, flame-roasted corn and jalapeños, topped off with green onion and warm maple syrup. Yes, please!
Tendencia #4: Papas fritas rellenas
“Con el aumento de los precios de los menús, los restaurantes tienen que esforzarse aun más para tentar a la gente a comer afuera. Eso significa crear menús únicos que ofrezcan experiencias gastronómicas verdaderamente inolvidables. Las papas fritas rellenas son excelentes para ello”. — CHEF ZELLER, chef ejecutivo corporativo, Simplot
Dill-icious Chip & Dip To Go
