Recently, local food stylist Daniel Chen posted about some upcoming food and drink predictions for 2024, so we asked, "care to elaborate?"
Daniel Chen's a Montreal-based food stylist who's worked for brands like Tim Hortons, Hello Fresh, Starbucks, McDonald's, and more. He's worked in the food industry in all capacities, from fine dining chef to fast food.
So, as a professional who's all about making food look amazing for photos, commercials, and other media, we not only liked Daniel's ideas, but thought he'd know a thing or two about where how we're eating and drinking might be heading.
