Laura Zaspel, CEO and co-founder of Serendipity Catering in Lakewood, shares three interesting food and beverage trends of note for 2023. “The No. 1 trend by far are sober celebrations with water gardens, Italian soda bars, nonalcoholic spritzers, seasonal mocktails, and kombucha bars,” she says.
Specialty boards such as bread-and-butter boards, themed charcuterie boards, and brunch boards are a big hit with groups. Family-style meals with comfort food and family recipes prompt “lingering over a meal just a bit longer,” she notes.
