# Merry Marijuana-Infused Dinners Big Norm Cooks Up Nothing but Weed Food for His Dinner Party By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-12-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weed-food References: [twitter](http://www.twitter.com/thebignormshow) Just in time for the holiday season, Toronto chef Big Norm invited about 25 of his friends and acquaintances to a dinner full of weed food this past weekend. Big Norm, who is an actor/comedian and chef, decided recently that after 16 years of using weed, he is quitting. However, before he gave it up for good, he invited fellow cannabis enthusiasts to join him for a buffet-style dinner full of weed food. The menu included kush croutons on ceasar salad (the dressing included weed butter), baked chicken (weed water was used in the chicken brine), special weed fish cakes, rice, coleslaw and weed egg nog. For $40 each, a little over two dozen hungry dinners piled in a downtown Toronto loft and enjoyed the marijuana-infused food. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Marijuana-infused Dining:** Opportunity for chefs to experiment with unique and exciting flavor combinations using cannabis-infused ingredients. - **Cannabis Culinary Tourism:** Opportunity to create travel packages that include culinary experiences focused on marijuana-infused foods. - **Weed Beverages:** Opportunity for beverage companies to create marijuana-infused drinks to pair with cannabis-infused foods. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Restaurants, hotels and tour operators can capitalize on the growing trend of marijuana-infused dining experiences. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can experiment with cannabis-infused products and create a new market for marijuana-infused food and drink. - **Cannabis:** Marijuana producers and distributors can expand their products to include cannabis-infused ingredients for culinary use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cannabis-Infused Finishing Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ouid-chef.md) - [Thanksgiving-Themed Cannabis Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trulieve.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Gravies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiva-turkey-gravy.md) - [Festive Cannabis-Infused Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-crme-pie-edibles.md) - [Toronto Cannabis Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cannabinista.md) - [Munchies-Satisfying Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voodoo-doughnut-420-treats.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Mustard Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-on-rye.md) - [Festively Themed Cannabis Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insa-products.md) - [Munchies-Curing Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thc-sandwich.md)
