At the heart of the "DIY Food" trend is the idea that guests can participate and help shaping the culinary creative process. This happens in a variety of ways. One example is DIY burgers, where guests can put together their burger order according to their own preferences - from the type of meat to the sauces and toppings. But DIY pizza or DIY taco concepts are also common, where each guest can choose their favorite ingredients and create their own creation. "DIY Food," however, is not a completely new phenomenon in the food & beverage industry . There have always been hot-pot restaurants where guests can put their own ingredients in the pot and cook them at the table.
This trend appeals especially to younger target groups who crave a unique and interactive culinary experience. Millennials and Generation Z appreciate being able to customize their meals according to personal taste and to live out their creativity. As a result, restaurants and cafés in particular that offer a young and modern atmosphere are increasingly focusing on "DIY Food" concepts. Young, hip and experimental restaurateurs in particular are picking up on this trend. However, it is also interesting for established restaurants that want to reinvent themselves or integrate an interactive and entertaining component into their offering.
"DIY Food" finds its use especially in urban areas and trend-conscious neighborhoods. Guests appreciate the opportunity to actively participate in their culinary experience and put their own tastes first. The combination of enjoyment and creativity attracts a young and modern audience in particular. This self-determination and freedom in the selection of ingredients and compositions is what makes "DIY Food" so appealing.
The impact of the "DIY Food" trend on table concepts, table settings and tableware are manifold. Restaurants and bars are increasingly setting up interactive stations where guests can assemble their own dishes or drinks. Tables are often equipped with induction plates or small grills to allow guests to cook food directly at the table. In addition to the culinary aspects, the "DIY Food" trend also promotes the sustainable use of food.
New Sharing
Sharing makes you happy and eating together connects. With many small bowls and plates, guests can go on a culinary voyage of discovery. In keeping with the motto "mix and match", different shapes and colors come together as design elements and bring together flatbreads, chips, crackers, mezze salads, olives and co. for a colorful and informal presentation.
Fusion Food
DIY food meets artisanal-looking plates in fresh but understated colors. A Japandog with wakame salad and pointed cabbage slaw is presented in a modern way. The Japanese-inspired hot dog is accompanied by a dark dip bowl with sesame mayo and a matt silver spoon that contrasts the ensemble.
Entertainment
An exotic ramen burger with beef, bacon, fried egg, kimchi and coriander is presented on a deep black plate. The highlight: a smoker's brazier not only provides a smoky taste, but also a visual delight. Black, industrial-looking cutlery completes the experience. Perfect chaos cooking for all the senses.
Vegan Burgers
Vegetables instead of meat: vegan burgers are all the rage. They can be presented particularly impressively on eye-catching retro tableware, which playfully combines the new culinary style with traditional table culture. Complemented by simple glassware and cutlery, the focus is on the food creations and the vegan burgers become real eye-catchers.
On the Go
Contrasting flavours combined to create an extraordinary taste experience: as an amouse bouche, frisee salad, lobster, bacon and curry popcorn nestle together in the black ice cream cone and stimulate all the senses. A discreet companion to this delicate appetizer is black porcelain tableware, which visually subordinates itself unobtrusively and leaves the stage to the black ice cream cone.
