Fire-Kissed Flavor Taking Over Menus
Smoke and char flavors have officially moved beyond the grill.
Across menus, chefs are bringing fire-kissed flavor to unexpected places, from vegetables and sauces to cocktails, desserts, and everything in between. Diners are chasing depth, complexity, and the multi-sensory appeal of foods that taste kissed by flame.
