Bars & grills are well-known for their casual atmospheres and alcoholic beverages paired with fan favorite comfort foods that can be a platform for safe experimentation. For a trend forward twist on bar & grill fare (which is known for showcasing ooey gooey cheese), consider ways to take comfort foods to new heights. For example, consider capitalizing on plant-based burgers, which have grown 1,683% on menus over the past 4 years (Datassential MenuTrends) and could be a vehicle for on-trend plant-based cream cheese spreads. Pickle-topped pizza is also on the rise as part of the cheeseburger pizza mashup trend feature American cheese, and taco styles like quesabirria (a cross between a taco and quesadilla, both well-loved items on bar & grill menus) could put a refreshing spin on a well-loved concept, showcasing stewed meat and mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Oaxaca cheese.
