2024 Food Trend: Platter Dinner?

Dinner Platters: as good to look at as they are to eat

The charcuterie platter has been trendy for a  while. For good reason – who doesn’t love meat, cheese and fruit? And then there’s Girl Dinner, the social media sensation that pushes back on the expectation that a wife should produce a balanced, wholesome and cooked meal every night. Combine the two and you have one of our predictions for food trends to watch this year: platter dinners.

Like the beauty you see above, it combines meat, cheese, fruit and veggies, with leftovers, dips, crackers and whatever else you have handy. It’s thrown together and ready in an instant or you can put in lots of effort, but keep it casual feeling. It works for appetizers or a main course. Either way, it has a social feel that creates a fun and chatty atmosphere. 

The platter in the picture was from a dinner for four during the holidays. It includes our peanut sauce, quiche, salsa verde and Thai chicken. So much good food
