Some trends are well on the way to revolutionizing certain things in our world. But for every great one, there are a few that are ridiculous and annoying, simply begging you to ask the question, “Why?”
In this topic, food is no exception. From the things done in private kitchens to whole restaurant models, there are plenty of modern food-related trends that many can’t wait to disappear, so when one Redditor asked people to share theirs, they didn’t hold back. Check out what they said below!

Fancy restaurants that say they serve “street tacos” and proceed to charge $18 for three.

I just went to a restaurant, not a fast food place, a sit-down restaurant where you have to scan the QR code for the menu, then a screen pops up where you have to place your own order.
No one comes to the table to answer questions, nothing. You place your order, a person comes by and throws your drinks at you. Then they swing by a while later and throw your food at you. That’s all you see of them.
You pay your bill on your phone, and are still expected to tip.

Deconstructed food. I did not pay you lots of money, so I get to essentially cook/make my own food.

Content creators squeezing and scraping the food. Looking directly into the camera, taking a ginormous bite, rolling their eyes, and going "MMMMMM OMGSOYUMMYGUYS" with their mouth full.

Well, restaurant trend. I am sick of polished concrete floors, exposed brick and pipes and ordering at a counter. Can we bring back a nicer dining room, please?

Truffle flavor everything. Real truffle can be wonderful but in moderation. Truffle oils in everything. Enough!

I don't think it's going anywhere, but putting bacon in/on EVERYTHING. I feel like there was this explosion around 2010 where bacon was just everywhere. I vividly remember Denny's having like a bacon celebration month that featured a maple bacon sundae. The world never went back.

Not food specifically, but related.
I loathe first bite reactions on gif recipes/ instagram pages.
