Williams-Sonoma has partnered with San Francisco-based startup Sun Basket to offer organic, non-GMO meal kits. The meal kits will come bundled with Williams-Sonoma kitchen tools and will be at a slightly more expensive price point than the current market frontrunners Blue Apron and Hello Fresh. Sun Basket, which launched two years ago but only recently reached a national audience, is currently available in 86% of zip codes and hopes to reach 98% next year. The quickly growing meal-kit industry is expected to be worth $3 billion to $5 billion within the next 10 years. Whole Foods is also looking to capture market share in the meal-kit space; they are currently testing a meal-kit service called Purple Carrot at a store in Dedham, Massachusetts.

When Zagat’s New York Guidebook is published tomorrow, two things will be different: it will have a brighter cover, and the rating system will have changed. For more than 35 years, restaurants were graded on a scale from 1 to 30. However, starting tomorrow restaurants will be graded on a scale that runs from 1 to 5 and includes decimals. The spokeswoman for Zagat – now owned by Google – said that this change was made to make the system simpler to understand. What has not changed in the Zagat guide is the top rated restaurant; for the sixth year in a row, Le Bernadin will hold the top spot in the rankings with a 4.9 score.

Fast food is very popular worldwide. There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trend of modern society seems to point to one ultimate goal – saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready on time. However, in the terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition value. Today, people are focused on the nutrition and food quality. Fast food industries also try their best to change the “traditional” fast food business structure – offering higher-quality food. They are seeking to retool their images by ditching the “fast food” descriptor. McDonald’s introduced so-called “artisan” chicken sandwiches and Arby’s also used the word for a line of grilled sandwiches. Fast food companies are looking to adapt to customers’ desires. I believe it will be healthier in the near future.
