Top 100 Food Trends in August

From Zesty Chicken Finger Tacos to Vegan BBQ Sides

— August 25, 2024 — Lifestyle
From zesty chicken taco QSR offerings that feature the bold flavors of ranch to summer-inspired vegan BBQ menus, the August 2024 food trends reveal that seasonal, affordable options are more exciting and innovative. Highlighting the culinary creativity of the season, these trends showcase a blend of bold flavors, health-conscious alternatives, and convenient dining solutions.

The August 2024 food trends reflect a significant shift towards diverse, flavor-packed dishes that cater to a variety of dietary preferences. Some of the roundups to note include brekki's ready-to-eat oats in chocolate coconut and lemon flavors, Sarson's new Dip & Drizzle line featuring rebranded packaging, $1 pizza slice deals for 7-Eleven's birthday celebration, and Kate's Real Food organic plant-based protein bars.
