Hottest food trends of 2023, according to Grubhub
Grubhub has announced the most popular food trends of the year based on what Americans have ordered in 2023.
There were several food fads, including people's clear love for chicken wings.
And when it comes to chicken wing flavor, buffalo chicken wings reign supreme, says the new report which analyzed millions of Grubhub orders.
"It’s no surprise that buffalo came in first as the most ordered wing flavor, given diners’ love for spice in 2023," said Elizabeth Bosone, vice president of merchant development and success at Grubhub.
"We also saw an uptick in other bold flavors, such as lemon pepper, BBQ, Teriyaki and Garlic Parmesan," she added.
As Bosone also shared with FOX Business, diners weren't afraid to order what they really wanted this year, as the platform saw an increase in unexpected food combinations, such as a 33% rise in pineapple as a pizza topping.
