Restaurant.com, an online restaurant deal resource, has polled 106 restaurants throughout the quick-service, fast casual and full-service segments to gain insight on 2013 culinary trends.
Respondents' top predictions for the New Year include:
Healthy: Sixty-four percent of restaurants surveyed noted a customer demand for healthy menu options and they're responding accordingly: 80 percent of restaurants say they will add healthier menu items in 2013. Fifty-two percent of restaurants surveyed selected healthy options as the most influential factor in planning their 2013 menus, followed by vegetarian options (39 percent) and gluten-free options (38 percent).
Vegetables: As consumers demand healthier options, vegetables will have a more prominent position on menus. Vegetable dishes ranked No. 2 on the list of most popular food trends for 2013 as voted by the surveyed restaurants, with 43 percent picking them to be an actual trend. For measure, 62 percent of restaurants said they will feature locally-sourced produced this year.
Vegetables were also predicted to be a top trend in another prediction survey released by Boulder Colo.-based Sterling-Rice Group, as well as from market research firm Technomic.
Comfort food: In spite of the healthy movement seen elsewhere in the survey, restaurants selected comfort food as the most popular trend for 2013, with 50 percent of respondents selecting it over newer trends such as spicy foods (37 percent), mini foods (34 percent) and small plates (39 percent).
Drinks: Specialty cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are thought to be growing in popularity, with 35 percent of respondents selecting them as a 2013 trend.
Technomic also predicted beverage differentiation, including fresh fruit beverages, natural energy drinks, housemade sodas and more.
New items: Eighty-five percent of restaurants surveyed plan to add new items to their menus in 2013, though it may come at a price: 70 percent of restaurants expect to raise prices this year.

That's blown it! Man who put noses on London landmarks is unmasked

Published: 13 October 2011
Rick Buckley, 45, fixed about 35 noses to landmarks that included the National Gallery, Tate Britain and South Bank Centre in 1997. Some were detected within hours or weeks. But at least 10 survive to this day.
One is at Admiralty Arch, another is on the front of Quo Vadis in Soho. A third has survived the renovation of St Pancras Chambers.
Now Mr Buckley, from Hackney, has been encouraged by his artist girlfriend Alexandra Hopf to reveal his secret in the hope of attracting a publisher for a book.
He said: "At the time there was this debate about the number of CCTV cameras. A lot of people took offence to it. They saw it as an infringement of their liberty. I was reading about the Situationists.
They were artists and writers who did these sporadic, illegal actions. I guess you would call it performance art today. That inspired me as well.
"I wanted to see if I could get away with it without being detected. The afterthought was that it would be great if these protrusions would become part of the structure themselves."
Mr Buckley would find a location before using glue from a toothpaste tube to fix the nose to the wall. After it had set he would take a picture.
He tried to match the colour of each nose - made with plaster of Paris and polymer from a mould of his own - to each wall. Six remain in Soho: in Covent Garden piazza, Bateman Street, Dean Street (at Quo Vadis), Denmark Street, off the Strand, and near the Trocadero. Two noses at the Hayward Gallery and on a South Bank walkway also survive.
A number of urban myths grew up. One was that the noses were part of the "seven noses of Soho". Another was that the nose on Admiralty Arch was modelled on Napoleon's and placed at a height to enable cavalry troopers to tweak it as they passed.

Woman Eats Two 72-oz Steaks In 15 Minutes [VIDEO]
You've heard of eating contests, but have you heard of anyone devouring two 72-oz steaks in 15 minutes?
Meet Molly Schuyler, the dainty woman who did it! Schuyler went to The Big Texan Ranch in Amarillo, Texas to take on their jumbo 72-oz steak challenge, which includes eating one baked potato, a salad, a roll with butter and a shrimp cocktail in one hour or less. But, instead of just eating one meal (which she did in under five minutes), Schuyler proved to the world she could eat two full meals! Keep in mind, the steaks alone weigh an astounding nine pounds!
If you can handle watching this woman in action, watch her take the steak challenge below. On her YouTube page, Schuyler explained her accomplishment doesn't end here:
"I am going to try and do 3 whole meals under an hour."

The Ringgold Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB) unveiled the first in a series of historical narrative tablets that highlight the unique wedding history of Ringgold. "We are so excited about enhancing the walking experience in Ringgold with these unique markers that can be enjoyed by everyone," said Ronal Graham, Ringgold CVB chairman.
The first marker highlights the Ringgold Wedding Chapel - the former Ringgold Methodist Church. Among the list of celebrities who married there is former Louisiana Governor and Country Music Hall of Fame member Jimmie Davis to legendary Gospel Hall of Fame member Anna Carter Gordon of the Chuck Wagon Gang.
"'The Wedding Walk' will soon feature three narrative tablets that illustrate the marriage stories of celebrities who came to the community to tie the knot as well as the history of those landmarks where the marriages occurred," he said. When asked about how the CVB pays or these new markers, Dr. Graham explained that, "Funding for the narrative tablets are provided by hotel/motel tax funds paid for by visitors as they stay in the community and those funds must be used to enhance the experience of tourists in the community."
"Folks travel from around the region to marry in Ringgold," explained Vice Mayor Randall Franks. "Some of the favorite stories that folks like to share are the famous people who started their lives here. We are honored to get those stories placed where residents and visitors can enjoy them." Mr. Franks, also an award-winning journalist and author, wrote the tablet narrative. He credited historians William H.H. "Bill" Clark, Mary D. Humphreys, and the late Susie Blaylock McDaniel for their work in recording some of the history featured and Rachel Brown for editing.
