A New Type of Food Concept: The Food Collective

A New Type of Food Concept: The Food Collective

Saying that a food collective concept is a ‘new’ one might be technically incorrect but in the last year or so, their popularity has spiked. A food collective is a concept that contains more than one type of food option in the one outlet. You could consider it as a small-scale fresh food market or food hall where you can get a curated selection of food items like fresh made paninis, hand-tossed salads, daily desserts and local bakery goods all in one confined space. 

Global City Hopping: Chicago

Global City Hopping: Chicago

Sure, this city has great architecture, museums and sports venues. But at its heart, Chicago is a food town. This is evident in the priority that good eating takes no matter the occasion. It is well known that locals will wait in a line (rain or shine) that snakes around the corner for dolled-up doughnuts at Doughnut Vault. And like any modern foodie around the world, they love to talk about their most recent meal. In my following list; you’ll find our top picks, from quick bites to multi course meals, in the city’s best dining neighbourhoods. Check out the following from my recent six day trip.

Global City Hopping: Los Angeles

Global City Hopping: Los Angeles

On a recent business trip to North America where I visited the food capitals of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles (LA), I can safely say that I experienced some extremely wonderful cafes, restaurants and of course a range of pop-ups and food trucks that America is so well known for. The city that struck a culinary-chord with me though was LA - a city of vibrant culture, cuisine and dynamic food offers with no shortage of experience and elevated hospitality.
