Gen Zers have global palettes

Whether dining in or ordering delivery, Mexican food is nearly as popular with Gen Zs as American food. The young cohort also has an affinity for Asian flavors: The majority of their most sought-after cuisines come from Asian countries.

Millennials, along with Gen Zs, enjoy globally inspired flavors. Millennials lean toward familiar food options with creative global flavor twists. In contrast, Gen Zs seek authenticity in ethnic cuisines, viewing international food as an experience rather than just a meal.
