With health and global realities top-of-mind concerns for consumers, look for these food trends to go big next year as they move from cutting-edge to mainstream:

Sour gets its day: Fermented cherry juice and sour beer? In 2013, yes, as food palates move beyond sweet, salty and fatty to tart, acidic and bitter.

Chefs watch weight: Chefs are changing their habits and exchanging their butter and bacon for broth and beets. The result, better-for-you food that actually tastes good.

Asian infiltrates American comfort food:  The spicy and fresh flavors of Thailand, Vietnam and Korea will give consumers a new take on comfort food.

Veggies take over the plate: No longer prepared as just a side or salad, vegetables will get their chance to star as the main dish.

Kids' menus grow up: Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets take a backseat to kid-friendly versions of adult dining options.

American Artisans save a trip to Europe: With the emergence of local artisans budding in cities across America, why fly to Paris when foodies can think globally, but travel locally.

Small plates: Small plates for sharing will be replaced with smaller, singular servings of meat, veggies or starches  for a truly customized dining experience.

Savory Fruit: Look for fruit used with savory flavors, incorporated as a touch in appetizers, soups and meat dishes.

No diner left behind: From gluten-free to vegan, more  restaurants will offer all-inclusive menus and services to accommodate all eaters.

Popcorn is THE snack of 2013: Sweet or savory, the all-time favorite (and healthy) snack will pop up everywhere -- in ice cream, as croutons.
