<b><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">The Atmosphere:</span></b> <span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">Ambience is key, adding a warm glow at the entrance with large <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/candles/pillar_candles" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">pillar candles</span></a> can be just the thing to invite people through the door. Never understimate the use of <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/candles" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">candles</span></a> to carry the mood through your establishment, with a candle such as a <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/candles/candle_lamps/lowboys" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">lowboy</span></a> or <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/candles/candle_lamps/relights" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">relight</span></a> on every table. Teamed with low lighting and relaxing music, the right atmosphere will only encourage that extra bottle of wine or digestif order.</span>

<b><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">The Food:</span></b><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"> Focus on simple upselling opportunities for your customers including tasting menus, a wine accompaniment for each dish or sharing boards. They can help create that romantic element your diners are looking for or act as ice breakers for first daters! The romantic couple will want to impress on this occasion, so their chances of agreeing to additional courses and added extras is far higher. Make sure your side dish game is strong, it is these extras which will maximize your profitability over this day!<br />
These don't have to be limited to dinner service either, try <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/tableware/creative_presentation_tableware/Roma-Ceramic-Fondue-15L-507oz.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">fondue</span></a> or breakfast or a selection of your best pastries for brunch.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QghEzAOBs2A/VwVt6igTqPI/AAAAAAAAArk/fku_FZc4D4s0c2HJ4_giXbVnCX-HI6Kug/s1600/D75_3080-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QghEzAOBs2A/VwVt6igTqPI/AAAAAAAAArk/fku_FZc4D4s0c2HJ4_giXbVnCX-HI6Kug/s320/D75_3080-2.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">The brand new range from <a href="http://www.klaremont.com/search/search-results.html?filter_type=6&filter_action=0&filter_name=SearchTerm&filter_value=odk" target="_blank">ODK</a> has been developed by bartenders for bartenders in Italy, engulfing the Italian passion for food and drink! Offering not only great taste from the highest quality, fresh ingredients, the ODK range is also extremely easy to use and generates almost zero wastage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><br />
The specially patented bottle means that the syrups, purees and creams do not need to be decantered, with the ability to be squeezed and measured directly from the bottle, the push top lid also means minimisation of fruit flies around your bar! The highly concentrated formulas provide an unbeatable depth of flavour to each puree, syrup and cream, meaning that less is needed per drink, ultimately saving you stock and money!</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b>The Fruit Puree Line</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">The fruit puree line offers aside variety of fruity flavours, made from only the freshest ingredients; from handpicked strawberries from Spain and Poland, to bananas grown in their native Ecuadorian soil. The unique pasteurisation process that ODK use means that all of their fruit purees have an unbeatable shelf life while maintaining the highest quality flavour for all of your cocktails.</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b>
The Syrup Line</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">The ODK syrup line offers probably the best syrups on the market, featuring cocktail staples such as the White Sugar and Vanilla syrup, or something to add a little passazz to your drinks, like the Grenadine syrup! Whatever flavour you go for these syrups are a must behind any bar or mixologists cocktail kits.All of the syrups are highly concentrated in flavour and made from the highest quality, fresh ingredients and natural flavourings where possible. The intense flavour means you rarely need more than 20ml per cocktail, so your syrups can last a decent amount of time before they need replacing - a cost effective, delicious cocktail solution... Hoorah!</span><br />

We sat down with Eduardo, the co-founder of ThreeSixSix alongside his brother Andres. Their bars have been going from strength to strength over the past 10 years and it’s not hard to see why! Their strong design aesthetic and attention to detail shows that bartending is a real art form.</b></i></span></i></span><br />

<b>Where did you get your experience from?</b></b></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">
I grew up in Mexico so a lot of my early experiences within the cocktail industry started off there, I lived in a city called Santa Paulo - the city of eternal sunshine - and there was a huge bar culture there. My brother and I later decided to move to London to work which was a huge change from Mexico! Destiny took us apart and we both went down separate routes, I went into more independent local businesses and my brother went down the more corporate route working for companies like <a href="http://www.j-sheekey.co.uk/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">J Sheekey</a>. After a few years we decided to take the plunge and open <a href="http://www.threesixsix.co.uk/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">Bar ThreeSixSix</a>.</span>

<b>What do you think are the most important qualities to have in a cocktail bar?</b></b></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">
Atmosphere and aesthetics are a major part of any cocktail bar - they effect the way you drink, how you enjoy it and behave around it. It’s important to make sure you have the right lighting and colour palette for a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. It’s also important to change things up so there’s something new to intrigue your customers, but with eclectic style you have to make sure that items work within the space together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b>
<b>What inspires your cocktail creations? </b></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">Everything inspires me; from people to national dishes, scents, items and objects I find in charity shops, anything can inspire a cocktail.</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b><b>What’s the most important thing about running a cocktail bar?</b></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">
Staff! Staff are the most important thing about any cocktail bar, they’re like family. Also customer service, we have to remember that we’re here for the customer not the other way round. I think it’s also important to remember that we’re making drinks for our customers not ourselves. Also music, atmosphere and attention to detail are very important qualities.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b><b>What do you think are the key trends in the cocktail industry at the moment?</b></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">Using lots of vegetables, organic liquors and products. We actually have a totally <a href="http://www.threesixsix.co.uk/menu/cocktails/cocktails-organic/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">organic</a> section on the menu which we’ve been developing over the past few years. Everything is organic down to the raw fruit and vegetables to the liquors. Also non-alcoholic cocktails are becoming increasingly popular as customers mind-sets are changing about the way they view their health.</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

<b style="font-family: 'century gothic', sans-serif;"><b>What cocktails have been most popular?</b></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">Our most popular cocktails are the Old Fashioned, <a href="http://www.threesixsix.co.uk/item/small-tuscan-chicken-salad/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">Smokey old fashioned</a> and <a href="http://www.threesixsix.co.uk/menu/drinks-negroni/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">Negroni’s</a>. I think it’s important to start with the basics and develop them, for example our Negroni’s have been developed with flavours, ingredients and textures from all over the world that compliment each other, to create an exceptional taste. Also our <a href="http://www.threesixsix.co.uk/item/calahua/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/page.html" style="text-decoration: none;">Calahua</a> cocktail, which is made purely from an infusion of coconut with latin and Mexican vibes, which transports you straight to the beach.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b><b>What cocktail trends do you see becoming popular in the next few months?</b></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;">Vermouths are becoming increasingly popular, also going back to basics and fully exploring every flavor combination and the ingredients inside each completely. Smoked and experimental cocktails are becoming a big trend too, with multi-sensory qualities. </span><br />

This cocktail is simple to make, but because it’s so simple you have to make sure that each component is perfect, and by adding the smoke into the mix it creates an aroma which transports me back to my childhood in Mexico. I think it’s important to try and transport your customers somewhere, back to childhood or different experiences. This is why a lot of the bitters we make in house are not necessarily for taste but for creating aroma.</span></div>

It's important to cater for everyone, so be just as inventive with your booze-less creations too! Moreover Valentine's Day is an opportunity to celebrate love, so why not try and incorporate that into your drinks menu. There are a range of ingredients worth considering, red strawberries which traditionally have come to represent passion, pink grape adds the perfect amount of sweetness and white chocolate keeps the mood light, flirty, and sweet. By adding some of those ingredients to your pallet you can be assured to create that intimate and romantic atmosphere.</span><br />

Festive feasts</span></b><br />
Experimenting with your Christmas menu is essential in hospitality today, although guests will expect the traditional Christmas dinner, they may also want a unique twist when eating out. Adding a personal touch to the ingredients and dishes you serve allows your menu to stand out and make for an unforgettable dining experience. Including a variety of vegetarian and gluten free options can truly make your menu a winning one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><b>Seasonal Sipping</b><br />
Tempt your customers with seasonal cocktails and drinks. This is a great way to maximise on sales with very little impact and cost. Why not offer mulled wine and cider in our mulled wine kettle? Not only do these kettles look great, but they’ll bring a festive aroma to your bar! Make sure you have a mix of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available, as studies show that non-drinkers are on the rise in London.<br />
<br /><b>Get Social</b><br />
Social media is a great way of promoting your restaurant or bar over the festive season to get guests in the Christmas spirit. Entice customers with snaps from your establishment of people sharing the Christmas cheer, decorations and mouth-watering menu teasers.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">1) Know what you want to print.</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">Make sure you have a clear idea about
what you want to print - have a logo, tagline or image and make sure that it
doesn’t breach any terms of copyright, this will enable the printer to quickly
provide you with a digital mock up, and avoids any confusion down the line.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: auto; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">At the initial stage of enquiry a PDF or high resolution JPEG file
of your image will enable the printer to put together a digital mock up for
you, however at the time of printing you will need to provide a vector file. If
you don’t have this type of file some printers may offer to put this together
for you, however they will charge and this can increase the cost remarkably, so
try and get it created in house where possible.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">2) Know what products you want printed</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">Make sure you know exactly what items
you want branding, where the logo will be placed on the product, the size you
want it and the quantity you want printed. It is important to know before hand
that the surface of the product to be branded needs to be smooth, so cut glass
and textured surfaces are a no no! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">Top tip!</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">Many printers/ engravers have minimum
order quantities, this means your order will have to meet this requirement
otherwise you may have to pay an additional cost, or they may not be able
to fulfil your order at all. It also sometimes works out cheaper
that the larger the order, the cheaper the printing cost. If you are unsure how
many items you want branding or are flexible with the amount, it is worth
getting quoted for a larger and smaller quantity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">3) Know what type of branding you want.</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">There are various ways you can brand
products such as printing, engraving and embroidering. Make sure you know what
you are looking for, as again, this will enable the printer to quote you
quickly and accurately. You can print onto almost anything in a number of
different colours. When looking at this option check your logo for the number
of colours included, with some printers a pantone reference may be required, a
pantone reference can also ensure the colours of your logo are met exactly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">For glassware, polycarbonates and
metals etch effect print is a great, cost-effective alternative to engraving
and can be done relatively quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"> It is advised to start the
enquiry process 8-12 weeks before your deadline date depending on your
printers, however it is always advised to check their lead times to get a
realistic end date. It is always worth allowing extra time for artwork
amendment and delivery delays as a ‘just in case’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Top tip!</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">If you require your items printed
sooner it is sometimes possible to get a rush order processed at an extra cost,
this usually depends on the printers schedule however, so do double check with
them first. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<b style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">There are no great wine lists, just
those which are a good read</b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">. The outcome for a restaurant is to receive an
order and not host a bible reading session, so the simpler the list, the better
your customer will feel.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">You see after several pages the wine
list morphs into a book and people who are eating, dining or just hanging out
don’t require volumes of information about wines. <b>Most diners never get past
the first one or two pages</b> anyway, they turn off and hungry people become
distracted by what their waiter or sommelier has to offer. So you get my drift,
big belting lists are out of fashion in this mobile world. </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The only saving grace for a longer
offering is a digital list; the customer can scroll through the pages in
seconds or use the search key, which also hides the hundreds of wines cleverly
sitting in the data base. This acts as a concealed cellar resulting in a clean,
simple read! <b>Excellent... and nobody knows how many wines there are!</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>If a wine list is just two pages long
(my ideal)</b> how does it look? Easy to read. Do some heavy lifting with the
design; headline wines by variety never region, that follows at the end of the
line. <b>Use funk, use colour, be terse, be relevant</b>; make it easy to navigate and
don’t choke with too many wines.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>Make most drops available by-the-glass
</b>or served from an argon cloud dispenser-50 ml, 100 ml, 150 ml etc. depending on
the price point of the bottle.<b> The best profits come from by-the-glass sales</b> so
try offering the best for drinkers.<span style="background: white;"> I</span>n
an era of shared plates this results in every diner drinking differently-so
glass offers are critical.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The real rub comes for restaurants with
large glass programmes: there comes a time when too many single pour wines starts
congesting the property (or deteriorating). This is the reverse reaction
forcing a reduction in listings; hurrah, keep it smaller.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>A good restaurant owner, manager or
sommelier will keep the list fresh</b>; change it daily and rollover at least
weekly or as soon as... a list over three months untouched is stale!</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">If you have a themed place such as an
Italian restaurant keep to wines from that region, stick to the concept.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>So your list must be gorgeous not
grandiose, or nobody reads them.</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">This month's guest blogger for 'World Restaurant Trends' is Christopher Barber,
managing director at</i><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-style: italic;"><b> </b></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.cbfoodsolutions.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Catering Business Food Solutions</b></span></a><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span><i style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">in London. He shares with us his
expertise in restaurant consulting and explains how 'table top' is just as
important as 'table'.</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><br /><b>
These days, what your food is displayed on has become as important as recipes, provenance,
seasonality, sustainability, and all of the other ‘buzz’ words associated with
food.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>For
a food business, finding an ‘edge’ has never been more important</b>, and even for
us as food consultants, it can be difficult to identify what within the mix has
provided that edge…and ergo made the business a success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;">So,
we take a look at every angle, and using the now famous GB cycling coach Dave
Brailsford’s ‘marginal gains’ strategy, aim to improve every aspect by a few
per cent. Put those few per cents together, and combined you can see a massive
overall difference…all based on a marginal gain on every element of the dining
experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>So
now that we have established (or theorised) that ‘table top’ is as important as
‘table’</b>, what are we seeing that is making the difference? Restaurateurs these
days tend to have an idea of service ware before they have even started looking
to purchase; this is helpful as the options are far greater than 25 years ago,
when a plain white plate was the norm. Having said that, some of us can still
remember the early days of the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Nouvelle
Cuisine,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>where minuscule
portions were set daintily in the centre of a huge white plate, this was ground
breaking at the time. (Ah, the good old days).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;">Often
you will see great lengths taken to suggest that cutlery and crockery is not
actually new (though it is) and ‘rustic’ collections such as<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="http://www.klaremont.com/tableware/stoneware"> </a></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><b><a href="http://www.klaremont.com/tableware/stoneware"><span style="color: blue;">Churchill Stoneware</span> </a></b></span>can
be found in anything from uber cool café to Michelin starred dining room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;">I
believe it was Jamie Oliver who elevated the <b>reintroduction of</b><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://www.klaremont.com/tableware/enamelware" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>enamelware</b></span></a><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><b>into a period of near national
dominance</b>; yep, those blue rimmed rectangular dishes and canteen style plates
are seen in many catering and café/restaurant environments. However their urban
cool is not always appreciated, at a recent presentation of enamelware to a
client, we were questioned whether we were playing a trick on them…<i>..surely
you cannot be serving food on plates that we feed our dogs from?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>Style is of course, subjective,
and whilst I think enamelware has ‘peaked’ in popularity, I have seen some<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.klaremont.com/search/search-results.html?filter_type=6&filter_action=0&filter_name=SearchTerm&filter_value=avebury" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>very nice
china versions</b></span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>of the
infamous enamelware, so perhaps the style will live on in a slightly more
gentrified way, and certainly not for the hounds to feast from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>Tableware
that matches isn’t even that important</b>, it is perfectly acceptable to throw
together a collection of eclectic styles, patterns and textures. This kind of
strategy – either using rustic or eclectic mixes of tableware, helps <b>take the
formality out of formal dining,</b> helping the guest to relax, enjoy and feel
comfortable. I have a theory that the more comfortable you feel in your
surrounds, the more likely you are to enjoy the dining experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>Everything
has its day, and today's cool can be tomorrow's naff</b> – so when
deciding your table top, just beware of items that will have a limited
shelf life…as you will be replacing them before you know it; but be assured,
wait long enough, and they will be back in fashion at some point (you may just
need a large warehouse and a lot of patience).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>Practicality
is an important factor</b>, especially in mid-scale and volume
establishments; for example I love bone and wooden handled cutlery –
problem is that often it tends to be less robust, and after a number of
vigorous dishwasher cycles, handles can come adrift.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;"><b>Plate
shapes come and go</b>; ovals, square and rectangular trays all have their uses,
and the current culinary trend of spreading food across the plate as opposed to
piling high demands specific plates.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif;">The
glass clip top<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.klaremont.com/kitchen/storage_and_gastronorm/storage_jars" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>‘kilner’ jar</b></span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>is almost the accepted new home for a
prawn cocktail, a pate and even desserts such as mousses and possets. They come
with a range of enamel coloured tops, and are doubly useful as with the lid

is currently in vogue</b>; it is a nice way of describing stuff that appears old
enough to be valuable and interesting, but not so old to be antique, and
generally this features an array of cutlery and crockery styles from the 1960’s
right up to the 90’s. An example is the Burleigh pottery, I believe at one
point on the verge of extinction, but now right back in business thanks largely
to the vision and style of Ben and Hugo Warner at<span style="color: blue;"><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b><a href="http://benugo./">Benugo.</a></b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Daniel Scripca, not just a chef, but an extraordinary creative genius. This guy
collects bits of junk, wood, car bonnets and crafts them himself into service
ware. This kind of innovation does not go unnoticed, and often forms the
inspiration to the mainstream tableware designers. <b>In recent years we have seen
diverse materials such as wood, slates and seashells fashioned into service
ware</b>, so whilst china, glass and porcelain remain important, the table top
houses an array of material and texture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>I don’t think there is any right or wrong for the table</b> – I would
like to see an end to the almost exclusive ‘plating’ of dishes. Particularly at
parties, banquets and gatherings, I would love to see a return to platters of
food brought to the table and elegantly served by skilled waiting staff. This
would reignite the market for large dishes and platters, and would also require
having plates that look good with nothing on them…who knows, one day this may
come back into vogue, I live in hope.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Australia in 2014 and what he predicts will be big in 2015.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>The comfort food of the United States
is taking the world by storm</b>, trending around the world in countries like
Canada, the UK and Australia. Melbourne has been no stranger to this trend and
what started out as a trickle of openings in 2013 turned into a deluge in 2014.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>At first, the hype was around so called "dude food"</b>, and
diners couldn't get enough of burgers, macaroni & cheese, sliders and fried
chicken. While these items are still popular, things have moved on since their
2013 heyday. Increased numbers of Australian tourists to the United States due
to the strength of the Australian dollar in recent years, combined with the
continued popularity of travel and cooking shows has meant that <b>Australians are
more aware than ever of the variety of food that's on offer in the United
States</b>.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">In 2014 the focus of the <b>American food trend in Melbourne headed South
and became quite regional.</b> The Lobster Rolls of New England like at <b><a href="http://mrclaws.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Mr Claws</span></a>,</b>
Soul Food of New Orleans found at <a href="http://www.lebonton.com.au/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Le Bon Ton</span></b></a>, Smoked Meats of Texas such
as at <a href="http://meatmaiden.com.au/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Meatmaiden</span></b></a>, and Fried Chicken of
Nashville like at <a href="http://www.belleshotchicken.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Belle’s Hot Chicken</span></b></a>, have all starred
in Melbourne in 2014.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">It's not just the focus of the trend that's changed either – <b>as the food
on offer has changed, so has the manner in which it is served</b>. To begin with,
the way the food was served wasn't really a point of differentiation. The food
was the focus and the tableware was not, save for drinks in a jam jar. As the
trend moved towards American Barbeque, the manner in which the food was served
also changed. Macaroni & Cheese began to be served in miniature cocottes,
and food was served on white enamel plates with blue rims –<b> a dash of
authenticity to add to the overall experience</b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>.</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">As the food has become more regional in
its focus, the tableware used has also become more important</b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">. Enamel plates are
still popular, but what's also been making an appearance are things like retro
plastic baskets – the ones with the square holes across the sides and
1950's-style "American Diner" napkin dispensers. Chequered
tablecloths have become quite popular too.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>What is clear is that diners in Melbourne have become more discerning
about where they go to eat their American Food</b>. As competition has increased,
restaurateurs have had to make more of an effort to get people through the
doors and, as a result, they have had to focus not just on great food, but also
smaller details that may have been neglected in the past, with tableware and
presentation becoming increasingly important.<b> Diners want authenticity</b> and, at
least in 2014, authentic seems to denote retro styles and simplicity.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">If I had to predict a trend for 2015 I would take a bet on guessing that
the search for authenticity and regional flavours that’s been prevalent with
American food will start to appear in other cuisines - regional kimchi, unique
spices etc. Another thing which is just in its infancy and will explode in 2015
is soft serve. At the moment it’s just a few places that are doing the
occasional soft serve and<b> I wouldn’t be surprised to see soft serve only places
doing all sorts of innovative things in the new year.</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>American Millennials have also revisited an interest in their own foods,
New American and comfort food restaurants popping up all over.</b> Of course, the
dishes must be presented in a less traditional way; but the slow-cooked foods
of youth that encourage long dinners and longer conversations are gracing menus
all over the country. <b>What is different about this generation is their desire
to eat this food in the most healthy way possible.</b> That a restaurant chooses
local and organic products whenever possible is expected. Alternatives to milks
and meats for vegans and vegetarians is also incredibly important. This crowd
is not afraid to try new foods, and America has seen a resurgence in rarely
before used produce (beets, kale, and the like). Millennials will make meal
choices not just for taste but also to benefit their bodies, and this is not
simply a benefit, but a reason to choose a certain restaurant.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><b>Those restaurants that are catching on to this trend have infused all of
their menus with certain<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>“health”<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>hints</b>, meaning that, while a sugary
cucumber-based martini might not actually have any added value in terms of
health, the fact that it’s made from a vegetable appeals to the young
20-something girl interested in maintaining her good skin and staying fit. Not
all Millennial diners are willing to be tricked by smoke-and-mirror good
decisions, however, and <b>real health food restaurants are beginning to pop up
with greater success</b>. In addition the healthy menu items, young patrons are
particularly interested in restaurants intentionally seeking out
locally-sourced meats and veggies, fair trade coffees and sugars, and that are
invested in the community.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

trying to be healthy and conscious. The restaurants that take the time to apply

that is fully willing to put good money where their mouths are. </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
