Customization of the Burger

As customers become more educated of menu ingredients they are going to begin demanding new and exotic plants, fruits and vegetables.  As people also become aware of the processing much of the pre-prepared meals undergo to increase their shelf life.  Farm fresh vegetables, organic choices and gluten free diets are becoming lifestyle choices rather than trend diets.  Freedom of choice or customization is also becoming a growing trend.  Just look at the growth of small sandwich shops(Subway, Quizno's) that feature unlimited combinations of flavors, fresh vegetables, fresh bread and protein options.  Buffalo Wild Wings has traditional fast food items paired with unlimited sauces, choices in sports and teams, and a wide selection of beer, liquor and even wine.  Neighborhood cafes, restaurants and coffee shops are once again social gathering places.  Social media can let hundreds of people know their personal recommendations.  People now gather at coffee shops to write their blogs, post their whereabouts on Facebook while they shop for clothes.  The internet has even changed when people eat because the 9-5 factory jobs are gone and office workers find that they have as much to do form their internet connected office at home as they did at work.  Many of todays students take their college classes online at their leisure.
