Global
Flavor Tourism
Global flavors are tempting diners all day long—not just at breakfast. Whether the flavor profile is Vietnamese, North African, Turkish, Peruvian or a mash-up of Korean and Mexican, the allure of unique taste experiences with a culinary passport intrigues diners and keeps them coming back for more. Chefs are inspired by the all different ingredients they can use to add new flavor dimensions.
TIPS & TRICKS
TIP – CUT FOOD WASTE, CAPTURE FLAVOR
“A little trick I love and tell my chefs to do—we save all the kitchen scraps left from chopping—bits of shallot, lemon grass, ginger, kafir lime, chili…and then use them to make stock or braising liquid. Anytime I boil or braise a protein, it gives you this great flavor. For even more flavor—toast or char the leftovers above an open fire before using them to make stock. This adds a nice smokiness to the flavor.”
— Chef Thai Dang
