Sayonara Sushi, Make Way for Bibimbap

Posted by Erin Zimmer, March 28, 2008 at 6:30 PM

Looking into a crystal ball, Good magazine forecasts which foods will be the next sweeping trends in a post-sushi era. With more restaurants serving exclusively sweets, New York's first dessert bar ChikaLicious might have to watch out. Bibimbap is another trend to watch for, but L.A. Weekly's Jonathan Gold already called that Korean pile of bean sprouts, egg, and meat an emerging all-star back in 2004. Itsy-bitsy fish like sardines and anchovies are also getting bigger, which should make both obesity-haters and the sustainable fishermen happy. And forget pomegranate (so 2007)—mangosteen is all the semi-exotic fruit rage, which means it'll probably start popping up in products galore. This XanGo juice, already a hit with Oprah, is just the beginning of a mangosteen-crazed world.
