The [creative travel diary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-tours) documents his tour across North America in the form of burrito artworks. Each image is delightfully illustrated in a cartoon and watercolor hybrid style. The images depict each burrito with accurate details. Additionally, he credits the locations by drawing a restaurant's name and its logo in the top corner of each page. While [burritos are a traditional Mexican dish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-burrito), this artsy foodie indulges in various locations such as Texas, Utah, California and Oregon. In addition to the images, each burrito is ranked using a strategic category system. The categories include roll, which refers to the presentation. There is also ingredients, dispersal of the ingredients and the sauce. This clever journal presents a unique and personal travel souvenir. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Food Journals:** Opportunity for artists to create unique food journals that combine illustrations and culinary experiences. - **Hand-drawn Food Illustrations:** Growing trend of using hand-drawn illustrations to capture food experiences, adding a personal touch to culinary documentation. - **Visual Storytelling in Food Blogs:** Increasing demand for visually appealing food blogs that incorporate artistic elements to enhance the storytelling aspect. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists can explore new avenues within the food industry, creating illustrations and journals that bridge the gap between art and culinary experiences. - **Food and Travel:** Opportunity for food enthusiasts and travel bloggers to create unique, visually captivating content that combines food experiences and travel narratives. - **Digital Publishing:** Rise in demand for digital platforms that cater to artistic food journals, providing opportunities for digital publishers to curate and showcase these creative works. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unconventional Foodie Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-magazine.md) - [Soda-Inspired Food Crawls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jarritos-food-crawl.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Post-Surf Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-world-breakfast-burrito.md) - [In-Person Gallery Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whataburger-museum-of-art.md) - [Food Travel Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-go-collection.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Cultural Dining Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authfoodmaps.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md)
