Well, if my millennial son is anything to go by, they like pizzas with unusual toppings, any current weird or limited time fast food product, shit loads of coffee, and lots of weeb food, including japanese style breakfasts. He also eats lots of lamb, in all kinds of ways (chops, burgers, shawarma, whatever, he fucking loves lamb, and fish too. I've never seen him turn down any fish dish, he'd eat fish for every meal if he could).
I'll tell you what he doesn't like, he has zero interest in your pic (avocado toast) thinks it's stupid, and if he eats avocado, it's usually over rice (as part of a rice bowl) or as guacamole.

>millennials don't have an actual concrete dietary trend
They do, though. They have totally changed what dining out is over the last decade. They've stripped it of most of its formality and put the focus on how the ingredients are sourced. They've embraced Asian and Latin flavors that would have been way too daring for their parents. They grew up watching the Food Network, so they expect to see creative, chef driven menus when dining out. They're not shelling out the bucks for classic French or Italian fare in a formal setting. They're going to the brick oven pizza place that serves burrata with strawberries instead of tomatoes. Or the place that does fried chicken in some kind of spicy Asian sauce. Or the place with an in house butcher that cures their own meats (and makes their own pickles). They have at least one vegan friend, so they expect to see at least one vegan dish on the menu. They may or may not care whether the food is organic, but will pay extra for locally sourced stuff.

I actually think they've greatly improved dining out in most cities. Their openness to flavors from around the world, concern for food quality and preference for casual dining over formal are all good things in my view. Their love of artisanal, local stuff over mass produced has forced a lot of mid tier places to up their games. The grain bowls and avocado toast might be a little silly, but mostly they've been a force for good.

My parents have been eating zabuka and bread for years and they were born in 1950

>white people who have little to no cultural identity to begin with
Blame the 20th Century for that. The rise of industrial food production homogenized everything, the Depression and WWI popularized a bunch of awful poverty tier dishes, then the rise of fast and convenience food coupled with women integrated into the workplace destroyed what was left of American home cooking for most families. By the time I came of age as a Gen-Xer only a handful of regional dishes hung on in families, who considered meatloaf and green bean casserole as traditional as pot roast and chicken and dumplings. We were blank slates open to all kinds of international influence, and we sure as fuck needed it.

It was not always good, to be sure. But there was nothing quite like it in terms of art direction and getting good writers to write about offbeat stuff. It was the magazine version of a chef driven restaurant - you could tell the creative calls were not being made to court advertisers or reflect corporate market research - it was the team trying to put together something they thought was interesting and would please their readers. Not every article (or issue, for that matter) worked. But there was nothing quite like it: too irreverent for the mass market, yet too well put together to be a fanzine. You could feel it was a labor of love.
>>8966928
I didn't do so well as a wine rep because I'm shit at being a salesman. But it got me into doing wine lists for a few places. Even though I make my living in another industry now I still do the list for a very successful wine bar. I enjoy it too much to completely leave the industry.

The hipster thing was really the tail end of Gen X, but millennials definitely adopted it. The difference is that Gen X hipsters spent their money going out to see bands that sounded like the White Stripes and the Strokes (and buying their CDs), drinking cans of PBR and thought sushi was adventurous eating. Millennial hipsters spend their nightlife dollars at restaurants instead of live music shows, drink IPA and eat stuff like Korean BBQ tacos. They're way more into food than Gen Xers - celebrity chefs are their rockstars. And those with jobs have the money to eat out because they're not spending it on music like the Gen X hipsters did.

So if you're talking about the effect of millennials on dining out you're talking about those who live in cities and have the money to eat out. That will pretty much be 20-somethings who live in or near neighborhoods with restaurants that cater to their tastes. You might call them hipsters, but they have much better taste in foiod than the hipsters of 15 years ago who wore Von Dutch trucker caps and blew all their disposable income on coke, cheap beer and Modest Mouse tickets.

As far as white American food culture goes it was home cooking in most of the country. As families stopped cooking traditional American dishes over the course of the 20th Century that culture was lost. It got replaced with convenience and fast food. The whole New American thing is an attempt to bring back some of those dishes in a fine dining context. But few of the folks going out to eat it have any memories of home cooked examples of these dishes. Because while plenty of white Americans still cook meals at home very few of those meals are the kinds of things people ate in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Because very few people want to spend hours making dinner. If they do cook they want something they can throw together in 30 min or less.

EXCUSE ME, dickwad, but that's not Gen X you're talking about (except for the coke, perhaps). Yes, we went to LOTS of concerts, festivals, and shows, and drank lots of beer and liquor, and some of us did drugs, but 15 years ago was 2002, and by then most of us Gen Xers were in our late twenties and thirties, already buying houses and having families, and no one was wearing fucking trucker hats. We also moved out of our parents house when we were 18, went to college, and got jobs, so we could take care of ourselves. And, I might add, we were the ones who STARTED the the new food generation of farm to fork, tip to tail, food trucks, home-style fusion, and back to roots cooking. You're welcome.

Don't get defensive. I'm in the old part of Gen X as well. And I agree with you that a chunk of what's so good about millennials is how they ran with some of the ideas we supported like
>the new food generation of farm to fork, tip to tail, food trucks, home-style fusion, and back to roots cooking
Also while this is true:
>We also moved out of our parents house when we were 18, went to college, and got jobs, so we could take care of ourselves
Those of us living in the city and not yet married were partying like fuck. Rent was still cheap enough that you could work a shit job, live in the East Village and go out every weeknight, then sleep it off on the weekends when the bridge and tunnel crow took over your neighborhood. And going out was much more about rock and roll than fine dining back then. We had pretty good taste, but we'd still slum it with PBR and well shots if it meant we could catch another show that wekk.

I know this may be a bit out there, but don't you think that is a negative attitude? I guess what I mean is this sacrificing your life for a frenetic runaround for your master instead of doing something relaxing like cooking and enjoying a slow meal with family, takes precedence. So what happens when you're 60? Will you look back like most and say I fucked up? Look at your priorities, 30 minute housewife.

>Look at your priorities, 30 minute housewife.
Her priority is getting the kids fed something they will actually eat without losing her mind after picking one up from soccer and the other up from a music lesson and now they're hungry and starting to be pains in the ass about it. I watched it happen to my sister. She started out as a vary good cook. Then she popped out three fussy eater kids. Now making dinner is the last chore of her day before she can pour herself a glass of wine and be fucking done for the day. The quality of the meal is unimportant because the kids have shit taste (like all kids). It's just something to get over with as quickly as possible.

>>8968326
Yeah, I'm just jaded. I grew up playing neighborhood pickup sandlot sports and parental organized formal sports, both. Which do you think was more fun? Which do you think developed the most character and social skills? Parents run around in a frenetic mania to get their kids into organized structured "games" and activities where they don't even get to be kids and the parents are exhausted. I don't get it. I hate to say it, but it seems almost like some kind of mass hysteria.

American black people are the same exact way btw
both white and black people living in the US have developed cultures that have little or nothing to do with their heritage
but see honestly I think you can't really blame them for their reckless appropriation of other cultures when they have basically been pushed into this situation over multiple generations
I think its perfectly natural to desire the type of fulfillment that comes from having a strong connection with ones heritage so when you can't do that, especially from a young age, it also becomes natural to look outward and latch onto other people's

American culture dominates the world, pleb.
And American cuisine just appropriates the best of all cultures and sometimes puts their own spin on it. The result being that we have a wide variety of ethnic cuisines to choose from and aren't just stuck eating liver and beans like the UK or pasta every day like in Italy.

Not really. Immigrants arrive here, some open restaurants in their communities. Every now and then the rest of the country gets into a style of immigrant food, but the further it ventures beyond immigrant communities the more it gets cheeseburgerized. That's not really an improvement, it's just what happens. Italian food arrives on our shores and in one generation it becomes spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm and American style lasagna - cheeseburger versions of itself. The next generation gives us Meat Lover's pizza and sausage and peppers heros/subs/hoages. From there it's a short leap to BBQ chicken pizza, chicken Alfredo pasta and jars of bruschetta sauce. That's just turning Italian food into something that will sell well at Walmart. Same shit happened to Chinese here. Given enough time we figured out how to remove most of the vegetables from it and turn it into fried chicken in sweet sauce - the next best thing to a cheeseburger.

I'd argue 20th Century American taste was pretty shit, but things have been getting better since.

>>8968929

American cuisine wasn't made from appropriating things
it was built by the original settlers/natives and then immigrants and then entrepreneurs
which is the same way that many cuisines have evolved over time
America was originally an isolationist country

>>8969086
Americanization happened as a result of immigrants not being able to find the ingredients they were able to find in their home country (say shaoxing wine or sichuan peppercorns for chinese food) and also as an attempt to skew the cuisine towards American tastes. Now ingredients can be imported from anywhere and millennials crave "authentic" cuisine and are much more adventurous and unwilling to accept half-baked wala ziti and meatballs. Sure there's lots of fusion food but it's definitely closer to the original cuisine than fusion food of the past used to be (like how american chinese food is just all gloopy sweet sauced fried meat).

>>8969104
True. But once things caught on with American taste they ran with it because they suddenly had a successful business in America, whether it was Chinese take outs, Greek coffee shops, red sauce Italian joints, Tex/Cali Mex or sub shops. To say nothing of what we did to pizza in the later part of the 20th Century. We turned everything we touched into some variation of American fast food crap. If the millennials want to try to reclaim something about what was good about these cuisines before this happened good for them.

Because it's not okay anymore to just turn your kids out of the door in the morning and let them play wherever and however. That's considered irresponsible parenting now.

This definitely contributed to the death of home cooking. A wife can't cook if she has her kids underfoot constantly. They're supposed to leave, then come home for dinner BY THEMSELVES. Sounds like a crazy world but it wasn't so long ago.

Can millenial foos culture be definef as hipster? I mean that in an endearing way, that millenials will try new places by word of mouth and try to discover hidden gems of food before they become popularized and homogenized; it is a quest for the authentic. Most food trends i.e "meme foods" are what millenials enjoyed before they became overly popular and began showing up in recipes that didn't call for them and therefore no longer authentic.
