MODERNIZE YOUR FAVORITE FOODS FROM THE 80s & 90s
What’s old is new again. Millennials and Gen Z are re-imagining popular foods from the late 80s and 90s—taking them to the next level, while keeping the core retro ingredients for warm and fuzzy feelings.
- Appetizers: Hand-held starters like potato skins can be upgraded with thickly cut potatoes, artisan cheeses, pulled pork, chunky guacamole, and plenty of peppery green onions.
- Salads: Caesar was the king of salads throughout the 90s, leading to today’s alternative versions using different greens (such as kale and butter lettuce) and adding toppings that include roasted chick peas, sliced avocados, cornbread croutons, and soft-boiled eggs.
- Main Courses: Casseroles were to the 80s what bowls are to today. Cheeky chefs are reinventing recipes like chicken enchilada casserole, green bean casserole, and turkey pot pie with much more produce, better quality cheeses, upgraded meats, and fresh herbs.
- Sides: Crispy tater tots have made a healthier comeback through baking instead of deep frying and/or by substituting the potatoes for RSS Cauli Creations.
- Desserts: House-made Rice Krispie treats and flaky Pop Tarts filled with real fruit (think blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, MFC Strawberries, MFC Apples, and MFC Pears) are fun replicas full of feel-good childhood memories.
