Give your menu a global accent

The appetite for global flavors and authentic ethnic food is growing by leaps and bounds here in the United States.

Meatballs and marinara is a universally beloved dish on restaurant menus. But there’s no reason these star ingredients need to be confined to a bowl of pasta.

When rolling out seasonal offerings, don’t stop at entrees. Sides are ripe for seasonal makeovers, and consumers are clamoring for healthy fall flavors.
