have been bustling over here at Urban Eats Consulting Group. The New
Year has brought lots of opportunity and change. So let’s get right to
the meat and potatoes;
Food Trucks Thirst for Commissary Space
Are
you a commercial realtor with an interest in banking a few commissions?
Or, do you know a commercial developer sitting on an empty strip
center? For Pete’s sake, let us know because we have many food truck
clients searching for kitchen commissary space. The ideal space would
be under 1500 square feet, located within or on the perimeter, offering
parking for a food truck and be reasonably priced. |

I was recently reading one of the many restaurant industry
trade publications I subscribe to, a favorite this time of year because I love
to see what they all think will be hot trends for 2012. One of the first
trends listed for 2012 inRestaurant Businessis “Southern
Comfort.” As a southerner, born and raised, this of course makes me
happy. From an early age, a few of my favorites were buttermilk biscuits,
grits, banana pudding, and my great grandmother’s chicken and dumplings… A dish
that I still haven’t perfected after roughly 40 tries. |

know, your resolutions are toast! Deprivation is a recipe for failure,
so why not take the right amount of your favorite snack, naughty or
nice, with you?

Food as the New Eco-Issue One
of our 10 Trends for 2012. The environmental impact of our food choices
will become a more prominent concern as stakeholders—brands,
governments and activist organizations—drive awareness around the issue
and rethink what food is sold and how it’s made. As more regions battle
with food shortages and/or spiking costs, smarter practices around food
will join the stable of green “best practices.” Inhaling
From
a Harvard professor of biomedical engineering comes inhalable caffeine
and chocolate—his company, Breathable Foods, is rolling out AeroShot
Pure Energy, an inhaler containing a hit of caffeine mixed with B
vitamins; Le Whif provides a chocolate experience sans calories. |
