Sorry, I am not interested in a $14 glass of wine. Also, I do agree - bacon IS king.

What about kabocha squash? I have been seeing that everywhere.

Who the heck ever sold wild-boar ragu?!! Sounds gross.

Hushpuppies! Where? I’m a Carolina emigre - I could die for some calabash seafood with hushpuppies and cole slaw!

Bacon is KING.

hrm. I actually feel like this list is reversed on some things and just wrong on others. Reads more like a 2009 In/Out list as opposed to any innovative predictions or sleuthing on trends for 2010.

Bacon will never be out. You are wrong.
