No-holds-barred cooking
About the trend
We’re in an era of sensory overload, and it’s time to lean into that. Diners are keen to see chefs tear up the rulebook and experiment more, using authentic Mexican sauces like salsa poblana to create modern burgers, for example. They want wild fusion, chaos cooking, and a no-holds-barred approach to the dishes they see on the menu.

"It’s a fusion of paella negra and adobo,
with a tangy twist to balance the richness. The acidity and unique flavors blend harmoniously, offering a delightful culinary experience."
