With visits to about 40 newly opened restaurants per city, the team tastes more than 1,000 dishes, documenting every flavor experience, every dish, every menu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Distill menu trends and opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>After the research tour, the team studies its findings. The findings are categorized into an annual trends report module, and select examples from the research for ideation. The R&amp;D team then interprets and reinvents dishes experienced on the tour. &nbsp;\u201cWe look for emerging themes with underlying repetition,\u201d Gonring says. \u201cOur goal is not to replicate the dishes, but to take the core concepts and alter them into our own iteration.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Recipe testing and standardization<\/h3>\n<p>The kitchen-testing begins with a rough draft of about 20 recipes per module. \u201cWe carefully notate our processes, documenting yields, record time durations, scaling ingredients, and tasting as we develop, then revise the recipes,\u201d he says. When the testing and retesting is complete, each recipe is plated, photographed and uploaded to Recipe Manager for customer consults.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Try Our Kitchen-Tested Recipes<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <a
