Millennials are taking every industry by storm, so of course they will not stop when it comes to dining out. They’re challenging their taste buds with the hottest of dishes, and are exploring spice of varying degrees. Expect this fiery trend to light up even more menus this year.
According to Restaurant Business, “Driven by the adventurous palates of millennials and an increasingly diverse population, spicy will grow across various terms, segments and cuisines in 2015.”
