Bottled Water a 2007 Top 20 Culinary Trend? Yes.
According to a study conducted last October, by the National Restaurant Association, bottled water made it to #5 on the list of the Top 2007 Culinary Trends.
Does hearing this surprise you? It did me, as there has been so much talk about the non-earth friendliness of bottled water and plastic bottles. It will be interesting to see what food items makes it on the list for 2008. What did not surprise me however, was #2 and #3 on the list, locally grown produce, and organic produce.
