US Soul Food
ELEVATING TRADITIONAL DISHES
Chefs are reinventing old time soul food favourites with luxury ingredients, such as truffle mac’n’cheese or duck fat fried chicken. A delicate balance is being maintained between deep cultural roots and innovative culinary techniques, so that modern diners around the world are able to experience authentic flavours and a taste of The South.
PLANTS, HEALTH AND NOSTALGIA
Keeping up with core dining trends, US Soul Food restaurants are finding plant-based alternatives to low’n’slow classics, such as jackfruit ribs. With wellness in mind, chefs are reducing sugar and creating nutrient dense versions of classic dishes, appealing to the health conscious diner. Finally, US Soul Food is the perfect cuisine to complement the trend for nostalgia, where consumers can find whimsical reinventions of childhood favourites.
