Top Food Trend of 2014
Spicy hamburgers
It was a year of chiles in general, but especially on hamburgers, for which Sriracha, poblano and habanero were among the fastest growing menu descriptors, according to menu research firm Datassential.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers topped its Big Sky Burger with Sriracha sauce, The Tilted Kilt used grilled green chiles on its S.O.B., or South of the Border, burger (pictured) and Brick House Tavern + Tap’s Goat Burger was spread with harissa mayonnaise. Even normally mild-mannered Friendly’s tops its Baja Burger with melted pepper Jack cheese, ancho chipotle sauce and jalapeño peppers.
