Offering a bento box of toppings to your guests isn’t just trendy, it’s smart. Instead of offering your own set menu of complementary flavors and combinations, diners will have the chance to branch out and try something new. Your suggestions will always be welcome but inviting people to make their own flavor choices will not only appeal to the more adventurous, it will keep customers coming back.
See these great ideas for bento box inspirations:
- Pickles cut into interesting shapes
- Diced/chopped ingredients in colorful cupcake papers
- Peanut butter piped from a pastry bag
- Bacon strips artfully arranged
- Avocado slices in a fan shape or grilled for texture appeal
- Cheese sauce
- Fried egg in its own compartment
- Several sauces in a color wheel display
- A selection of triangles of cheeses
- Grilled corn
- Different greens like spinach, arugula or cabbage
- Peppers from mild to spicy
