Doughnuts with nontraditional fillings, globally inspired kids’ meals and Peruvian cuisine are just some of the hot trends catching fire in 2018. We asked 700 professional chefs to tell us which foods would heat up sales. Here are nine to savor:

2. Ethnic-inspired kids’ dishes
Restaurant operators understand that kids today are more sophisticated and adventurous about the food they eat and will try global-inspired dishes when they dine out. Everything from noodle dishes to chicken tikka masala to fish tacos are on the menu.
