Food Trends We're Loving (and How We Make Them Our Own)
Spice Rubbed Duck Breast
At Hamp & Harry’s, we’re all about keeping up with the latest food trends while adding our own unique twist to every dish and cocktail. Whether it’s incorporating bold global flavors, embracing sustainability, or elevating comfort food with an upscale flair, we stay ahead of the curve while staying true to our craft.
Here are some of the biggest culinary trends we’re loving right now—and how we make them our own.
1. Elevated Comfort Food
Comfort food has taken a big turn, with chefs across the country reimagining classic dishes using high-quality ingredients and innovative techniques. At Hamp & Harry’s, we bring this concept to life with elevated takes on familiar favorites.
Take, for example, our H&H Smash Burger—crafted with two patties, caramelized onions, and smoked aioli, it’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern indulgence. Or try our Duck Poutine, a twist on the Canadian classic, featuring crispy fries, duck confit, and rich gravy.

2. Sustainable & Locally Sourced Ingredients
Consumers are more conscious than ever about where their food comes from, and sustainability is a driving force in modern dining. According to the National Restaurant Association, local sourcing and sustainable practices remain among the top restaurant trends (source).
At Hamp & Harry’s, we work closely with local farmers and purveyors to source fresh, seasonal ingredients that enhance our dishes while supporting the community. Our seafood selections, such as the Gulf Coast Ceviche, feature sustainably caught fish, ensuring both freshness and environmental responsibility.
3. Bold Global Flavors
Diners today are craving international flavors, and we’re fully on board with this exciting movement. From spicy Korean gochujang to aromatic Mediterranean herbs, the fusion of global cuisines has taken menus to new heights (source).
Our Lamb Meatballs, served with a harissa-spiced tomato sauce, offer a bold taste of North Africa, while our Thai Chili Wings bring a perfect balance of heat and tang. These dishes allow guests to experience a world of flavors without leaving Marietta Square.
4. Creative, Handcrafted Cocktails
Cocktail culture has evolved beyond the basics, with mixologists focusing on house-infused spirits, artisanal bitters, and fresh ingredients. Hamp & Harry’s is known for its craft cocktail program, and we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible behind the bar.
Our signature Hamp & Harry’s Old Fashioned, featuring brown butter-washed bourbon, is a prime example of our innovative approach. We also highlight seasonal cocktails, such as our Spiced Pear Mule, to keep things fresh and exciting year-round.

5. Artisanal, House-Made Everything
From scratch-made sauces to house-cured meats, restaurants are focusing on artisanal, handcrafted ingredients. The trend of "house-made everything" not only elevates flavor but also allows for greater creativity and control over quality.
At Hamp & Harry’s, we take pride in crafting as much as possible in-house—from our freshly baked pretzels to our signature aioli. Every detail is considered to ensure a memorable dining experience that sets us apart.
6. Plant-Based & Flexitarian Options
The rise of plant-based dining isn’t slowing down, and even non-vegans are looking for creative, veggie-forward dishes. The flexitarian movement, which embraces a more plant-heavy diet without fully eliminating meat, continues to shape restaurant menus.
While we love our steaks and seafood, we also offer vegetarian-friendly options like our Brussels Sprouts & Farro Salad, featuring roasted Brussels, apple cider vinaigrette, and spiced pecans.
