The Top Food Orders of 2020
Here’s how Grubhub’s top orders stacked up compared to last year: It’s no surprise comfort foods such as spicy chicken sandwiches and the must-have side of French fries (up 629% for side dish orders) are somehow more delicious when made by our favorite restaurants. And working from home or not, the day wouldn’t be the same for many of us without an iced coffee. As the late-night cravings kicked-in, Grubhub saw a 277% spike in orders for jalapeño poppers. Our hungry readers also wanted to attempt new variations of their favorite appetizers at home, as recipes for pickle poppers and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks reigned this year. The sweet tooth also kicked-in, with a big increase in late-night orders for strawberry cheesecake (303% more popular) and cinnamon rolls (210% more popular). These treats might be a little more challenging to bake and enjoy on the fly, so it’s no surprise our easy-to-make crescent roll cinnamon rolls became a fan-favorite this year with a 70% increase in new views. No matter your craving, continue supporting your favorite restaurants with takeout orders, especially while dine-in isn’t an option for many. And if you want to tackle dinner yourself, continue making the comfort foods that make you happy.
