# Sweet-and-Spicy Sandwiches Odd Duck Offers an Elevated Sandwich with Many Flavor Notes By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-02-15 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odd-duck References: [specials.mystatesman](http://specials.mystatesman.com/fried-chicken-sandwiches/) & [oddduckaustin](http://oddduckaustin.com/) Odd Duck is a restaurant that was created to embody and enhance the culture and creativity of the city in which it is based, and it offers many "elevated" food products – with its chicken sandwich being one of them. The restaurant's artisanal flair is apparent in the unique qualities that this sandwich offers. Rather than using a simple condiment to flavor it and give it moisture, the bread is spread with egg salad. It is accompanied by [fried chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-waffles-sandwich), and then flavored with [sweet honey mustard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-guy-summer-menu), [pickled fennel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-pickle-mccrispy), mint and Thai chilies. This diverse range of flavors ensures that the sandwich is able to hit every possible flavor note – sweet, savory, tangy and spicy. Odd Duck's chicken sandwich is creative, hearty and able to offer a diverse range of flavors in just one compact meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 - **Artisanal Flair:** Opportunity for artisanal ingredients and unique condiments to elevate traditional dishes like sandwiches. - **Flavor Fusion:** Opportunity for blending diverse and bold flavors in food offerings that cater to sophisticated and adventurous palates. - **Elevated Quick Service:** Opportunity for upscale fast-casual restaurants and quick service chains to appeal to diners seeking a high-quality dining experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can experiment with unique and interesting ingredients and flavor combinations to create memorable and dynamic dishes. - **Foodservice:** Foodservice companies can develop pre-made sandwich kits with unique and complex condiments and sauces to appeal to busy consumers seeking flavor and convenience. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers can develop artisanal sauces and condiments to help consumers recreate flavors similar to those found in high-end restaurants at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy-Sweet Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-habanero-crispy-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Spicy Thai Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thai-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Sauce-Smothered Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saucy-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Deep-Fried Pickle-Topped Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-dill-sandwich.md) - [Sweet-and-Saucy Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-habanero-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Spicy Adobo Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-chipotle-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Piquant Fried Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cluck-sandwich.md) - [Chicken Tender Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-tender-sandwich.md) - [Saucy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crave-hot-dogs-bbq.md)
