In 2024, BBQ will be a sophisticated technique for cooking that combines traditional cooking and innovative. These trends that are based on environmentally-friendly practices, global exploration, and embracing technology, reflect the shift towards sustainable cooking techniques that integrate flavors and social engagement.
A new generation of BBQ advocates, for instance, has taken the art to a whole other level. From reviving old dishes with creative flavors to developing new rubs and marinades that give an innovative twist to traditional dishes, these innovative chefs are making BBQ more than just a summertime ritual. They’re changing the way that people are enjoying BBQ in their favorite restaurants, and are encouraging the food industry to create innovative solutions that cater to today’s consumer.
As environmental awareness grows as consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact, they are turning to plant-based protein to satisfy their BBQ cravings. This has led to the introduction of substitutes for meat that allow customers to try barbeque dishes without sacrificing their vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. These new innovations are also driving the growth of grill-centric fast-food chains that feature Mashups, innovative formulations of traditional cuts such as portobello or brisket “burnt ends.”
Modern technology makes grilling a much more simple process. For example smart sous vide appliances allow you to track the temperature of your meats as well as keep in the loop of how much propane utilized. In addition, there are a wide variety of smartphone-compatible apps that can help you cook your meats to perfection.
