This list of street food innovations focuses on everything related to the category—from actual dishes to merchandise and retail.
Many vendors are looking to enhance the sensory experiences of consumers. Some focus on clothing. Recently, The Halal Guys—popularized in New York—partnered with Lafayette for an American clothing line." The capsule features graphics and colors that are indicative of both brands.
Hellmann's, on the other hand, steps up the street food innovation by placing an emphasis on sustainability. At the British Street Food Awards, the brand launched its own pop-up street food truck. The menu was entirely inspired by commonly wasted foods, placing a spotlight on reducing food waste.
Brands like BJ’s focus on creating new mouthwatering recipes. Most recently, the company debuted its new Italian Chicken Piadina and new Steak & Cheese Piadina.
