Except hot honey has been thrown on anything and everything lately, regardless of whether it’s new or not. I mean quinoa and farro both have been around for eons, yet only years ago someone decided it needed to be on menus everywhere, e.g. as “farrotto.”
Same with kale on every single restaurant menu.
Hot honey def deserves a top spot in the “most annoying food trends” thread … and if I can dig it up I’ll add it.
