NRA research
shows that 64 percent of consumers consider themselves more adventurous in
their food choices when dining out now than just two years ago. This sentiment
is even stronger among millennials, where 77 percent consider themselves more
food adventurous.
Seventy-two
percent of consumers also say that restaurant food provides tastes and flavors
they can't duplicate at home, which especially true for global cuisines.
Roughly seven out of 10 consumers say they are more likely to try ethnic
cuisines in a restaurant than they are trying to cook such dishes at home.
The rise of
ethnic cuisines has been evolving for decades, resulting in ethnic cuisines and
flavors increasingly making their way onto mainstream menus. Currently, more
than a third of restaurant operators say they offer ethnic cuisine items
outside of their main menu theme, with the highest number reported among
fine-dining restaurants (51 percent) and casual-dining restaurants (48
percent). In addition, a majority of operators believe this will become even
more common in the future.
