Nation's Restaurant News (via Eater) looks at the hot restaurant trends for 2011, as determined by restaurant-marketing consultancy Andrew Freeman & Co. What will be the trend of next year, according to Andrew Freeman?

Among the trends of which Gut Check approves are popsicles (we recommend paletas), shops that specialize in hot dogs and sausages, neck meat and lamb and goat belly.
Among the trends Gut Check thought already were trends is soft-serve ice cream.
Among the trends that terrify Gut Check are dirt and -- shudder -- mini plates. Like small plates, only smaller.
