Instead of brownies and cookies, Ziegler serves up gourmet edibles with restaurant-quality flair. Ziegler's cannabis-infused dinner parties are six-course meals that take place every Friday and Saturday night in Los Angeles. All of the dishes are made with locally sourced ingredients, many of which are grown in the chef's own garden. However, unlike other gourmet restaurant experiences, each of the dishes served by Ziegler are carefully dosed with cannabis to create gourmet edibles. One such dish is the black cod with squid ink salsa verde, which is coated in cannabis-infused oil. The high-end dining experience demonstrates how the edibles market is expanding beyond [simple baked goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-baking-mixes) to include gourmet dishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Cannabis-infused Gourmet Cuisine:** There is a growing trend of incorporating cannabis into high-end dining experiences, creating opportunities for chefs to experiment with new flavor profiles and techniques. - **Locally-sourced Ingredients:** There is a trend towards sourcing ingredients locally and sustainably, providing opportunities for chefs to create unique and environmentally-conscious dishes infused with cannabis. - **Expanding Edibles Market:** There is a trend of the edibles market expanding beyond baked goods to include gourmet dishes, presenting opportunities for chefs to create new and innovative cannabis-infused dishes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has the potential to incorporate cannabis into their menus and product offerings, creating new and unique experiences for consumers. - **Cannabis and Hemp:** The cannabis and hemp industry can work with chefs to create innovative dishes and products infused with cannabis, expanding the edibles market and driving new revenue streams. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** The hospitality and tourism industry can create new experiences for consumers by offering cannabis-infused dining experiences, attracting a new segment of customers looking for unique and high-end experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cannabis-Infused Finishing Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ouid-chef.md) - [Next-Gen Cannabis Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bettering-company.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Cooking Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisinfused-cooking.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Mustard Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-on-rye.md) - [Limited-Edition Cannabis Truffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coda-signature-fourth-season-truffles.md) - [Salty-Savory Cannabis Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsumo-snacks.md) - [Cannabis-Friendly Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-golden-state.md) - [Festive Cannabis-Infused Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-crme-pie-edibles.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Cooking Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-cooking-oils.md)
