Top 100 Food Trends in April

From Edible Easter Grass to Delivery-Only Restaurant Concepts

— May 2, 2020 — Lifestyle
Aside from the various cutting-edge recipes that brands and restaurants are deploying throughout their ranges, the April 2020 food category also zeroes in on innovations in the delivery space. This includes Chipotle's Tamper-Proof Packaging that is deployed in light of COVID-19 fears, as well as the 'Bon Appétit, Delivered' initiative which brings consumers dishes featured in the food magazine to their doorstep. Sam's Crispy Chicken also hops on this boat as it debuts its delivery-only virtual restaurant concept that emphasizes the "phone to table" approach.

Since Easter is right around the corner, the April 2020 food list calls for some innovations in this space, as well. A great example is Galerie's Edible Grass which has the potential to elevate one's Easter basket.
