For instance, appetizers like French Fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy make Poutine an exciting sharable starter borrowed from our friends in Canada. Asian noodle bowls that combine lean meats, fresh veggies and gravy have become a high appeal entrée. And, Chicken Tikka Masala in its tomato-based gravy with cream and Indian spices is a hearty meal second to naan.

In the United States, it’s no surprise that potatoes rank number #1 as the top paired item with gravy (27.3%)[1]. From Southern Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy to Chicken Pot Pie with potato, carrots and celery bubbling beneath a golden crust, Americans love their gravy-based comfort foods.

Gravy doesn’t regulate itself to only afternoon and evening dayparts. Breakfast bowls are also jumping in the gravy boat with dishes that layer eggs, shredded cheese, sausage and gravy all in one serving vessel. And, flaky biscuits are often smothered with gravy as part of a breakfast platter. In fact, colleges & universities are experiencing 20% growth in biscuits and gravy according to Technomic’s College & University Trend Report, 2017.
