Listen "What's on Menus in 2024 - The Menu Itself"

Episode Synopsis

What follows now are musings about the forces impacting what we choose to eat AWAY from home Priya Krishna, a contributing writer to the New York Times food section shared her assessment of what she and her team discovered surveying 121 menus from restaurants around the country in a story called “The Menu Trends That Define Dining Now.” This was in the February 7th 2024 edition. It's mostly a light-hearted take on what is on menus and observations about the menu itself. In a previous episode I explored themes Ms. Krishna identifies around what’s being served. On this episode I muse about the ways restaurants are serving up the menu; the physical object you find on the table or wall or otherwise conveyed in the establishment, or the menu that’s displayed on your personal screen.
