Grandma’s mac and cheese just got a spicy passport! Southern kitchens are going global with Korean BBQ mac, Thai pizzas, and even Indian fried chicken. Hash browns are now topped with caviar, and mini dessert plates mean you never have to pick just one sweet. Chefs are sneaking in mushrooms as “meat,” adding floral flavors to biscuits, and making sure everything’s extra crunchy. Comfort food is booming, and it’s all about bold flavors, gut health, and value deals. Who knew Southern food could get this wild? #FoodTrends #SouthernComfort #FusionFood #Food
