Editor’s note: The answers have been edited for brevity and clarity.

@_jessicaleeford | The Winston-Salem Dash did a showcase [...] and they had some interesting menu items like fried uncrustable sandwiches + fried mac and cheese balls. That’s definitely the most unique food I’ve seen. Check out Jessica’s review on Instagram.

@theofficialpree | I would suggest Grandma’s Coffee. They have a matcha latte and a dubai coffee drink that you can get with either coffee or matcha. Check out Pree’s review here.

@eatdish3 | There are so many food trends happening right now, but one that has really caught my attention is Dubai chocolate — everyone is going out of their way to find it. As someone who loves baked desserts, I’m always excited to explore new spots. Check out her review here.

Find Dubai Chocolate at J and J Kitchen And Food Mart.

@ramon_the_realtor | Ramen has been around for a while but more places are offering it now and they’re getting better. I recently tried a Peruvian food truck that was really tasty.

Try the Lomo Saltado from Lomo House‘s food truck.
