GSF chefs always watch the top flavor trends to predict how emerging tastes will manifest themselves on menus. So, which foods continue to catch their attention? 👨🍳 👩🍳 Consumers’ affinity for their favorite tastes have remained unchanged for years, so refreshing gold standards will create both challenges and opportunities for menu developers. To enliven familiar favorites with new twists, GSF chefs see an escalation of deeper flavor profiles delivered through unexpected sources. “Secret” ingredients add depth and craveability, while keeping consumers guessing about the source. These unexpected taste nuances bring more unique, signature offerings to the menu that restaurant guests can’t find elsewhere—and keep them coming back for more. Unveiled Ideations: 😋 Honey Mustard enlivened with a hint of licorice 😋 Remoulade accented with a touch of tarragon 😋 Bourbon BBQ sauce deepened with cocoa notes 😋 Marinades and sandwich sauces intensified with celery salt or rosemary 😋 Ranch or caramel topping boosted with umami-rich miso Share in the comments your ideas and insights about Hidden Gems from your latest dining and/or cooking experiences. This update wraps up our Flavor Watch highlights for 2024. #GoldenStateFoods #FlavorWatch #foodtrends #foodinsights #foodinnovation #foodserviceindustry #menuideas #menudevelopment #menuinnovations

Our GSF Foundation team in Irvine, California had a rad time volunteering in the kitchen at RAD Camp, a nonprofit that offers unforgettable programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Volunteers whipped up some fun while serving smiles and support to campers and their caregivers! 😊 Beyond the kitchen, Irvine's GSF Foundation Committee generously provided a grant to fund RAD Camp's junior program, helping bring summer camp magic and life-changing experiences to youth ages 5-21. 👏 ❤️ #GoldenStateFoods #GSFFoundation #RADcamp #risingabovedisabilities
