Grubhub has been tracking all of your purchases and now we know the most popular food items of the year. Buzz60’s Keri Lumm reports.
In December of every year, the food ordering app GrubHub takes a long, hard look at what people are ordering, and some noteworthy trends emerge. In 2018, they compiled lists of the top foods of the year (based on their growth in popularity), as well as the most popular restaurants in the app’s top markets.
The results are somewhat surprising. Here’s what jumped out at us.
1. The most popular food of 2018 is … bean burritos.
Here are the top ten trending foods of the year, based on GrubHub orderers. Note that chicken-based dishes make up half of the list, and cauliflower makes a repeat appearance.
1. Bean burrito (276% more popular)
2. Poke (205% more popular)
3. Chicken slider (189% more popular)
4. Baby back pork rib (165% more popular)

10. Buffalo cauliflower (124% more popular)
2.The top breakfast order of 2018 is … peanut butter acai bowls.
We, for one, are stunned that acai bowls beat out bacon, egg, and cheeses! We feel that there is something very wrong with that.
1. Peanut butter acai bowl (350% more popular)
3. Detox juice (193% more popular)
4. Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich (190% more popular)
5. Breakfast burrito (141% more popular)
