Recent dining trends indicate a shift towards comfort foods that are simple and nostalgic, as seen in menus across various eateries. The Corner Store in Manhattan features straightforward offerings like cheese pizza rolls and spinach artichoke dip, reminiscent of casual parties. Other establishments throughout the U.S. are serving humorous takes on iconic fast food and childhood favorites. There's a growing fatigue with overly intricate dishes, and diners are increasingly drawn to accessible and familiar flavors that evoke simplicity and joy without the need for serious deliberation.
At Corner Store you can also snack on spinach artichoke dip like you're at a Super Bowl party. In Brooklyn, Blue Hour serves its take on a Taco Bell Crunchwrap out of a gas station.
Americans have never not wanted things like mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. But lately there has been an air of fervor around the simple, the lightly childish, the don't-make-me-think-too-hard foods.
