Weekly Specials: Cbd Chefs? Cbd Chefs?
The National Restaurant Association and American Culinary Federation have found that three out of four chefs have named CBD and cannabis-infused dishes as their prediction for the next big food trend of 2019. While nationwide legality of said products is still a ways off, in places like Colorado where it’s legal, we’re seeing an explosion of inventive dishes taking advantage of these ingredients. It’s not too far out to think that in the next five years, we’ll see a large number of specialized restaurants featuring primarily dishes that take advantage of the relaxing nature of CBD. Other big trends noted by chefs were environmental sustainability and paper straws.
Weekly Specials: Cotton Candy Hamburger? Yep. Cotton Candy Hamburger? Yep.
The Albuquerque Isotopes have shown off some of the new culinary options they’ll be offering this upcoming season, and some of them are taking a big step outside of the normal comfort zone. Most notably, the Tumbleweed Burger is a step towards adventure, featuring ghost pepper cheese, red chile cotton candy and a green chile bun. Another interesting addition is The Comfort Burger, which is your typical hamburger, but with the addition of chicken strips and country gravy. It’s going to be interesting to see how the public reacts to these new additions, but ultimately, it’s great to see that a variety of choices are coming to Isotopes Park this season.
