Rainbow bagels
The Rainbow Bagel is a New York foodie trend (like the Teriyaki Chicken Pizza and ‘Cro-nut’ sensations before it) that has taken the world by storm. It was an original creation of Scott Rossillo, the owner and head baker of The Bagel Store in Brooklyn. The bagels are made of coloured doughs that has been flattened and stacked on top of itself, then cut and rolled into bagels. Its normally served with ‘fun-fetti’ frosting. The rainbow bagel has been featured on Insider and Buzzed.

Sushi Burger
Described by DailyMail as the “latest foodie fad to take over social media”. It uses all the traditional ingredients of a sushi roll and uses it to form a burger — the rice is packed into a bun shape to replace brioche, and fillings such as salmon, avocado, sashimi and chicken are used. It has been praised as simple and healthy and there are even popular vegan versions of the recipe that have been circulating.

Japanese style pancakes
Japanese Style Pancakes are pancakes that are incredibly thick and fluffy and are described as sweet and almost ‘crumpet-like’ in texture. The rise of the Japanese Style Pancake is mostly attributed to Pinterest and Instagram which have earned the modern Japanese classic its rightful popularity within the western world.
