These dough-based small plates are sure to please<\/h2>\n

Bar food is addictive. From chicken wings and mozzarella sticks to fried pickles, nachos and sliders, customers are looking for a prequel to their pizza main event.<\/p>\n

Including bar bites on your menu can increase check averages and generate happy hour visits when marketed well. The classics have a proven track record that meet the demands of consumers, while fitting into a restaurant\u2019s tight food and labor costs. But, it starts with a dynamite shareable plate.<\/p>\n

Street Food goes dine-in<\/b><\/h4>\n

Mobile restaurants have elevated street food to another level, and brick-and-mortar spots are cashing in on the trend. Perfect as bar bite options, street foods are often hand-held and whet the appetite. Arancini and toasted ravioli are common street foods that have become menu sensations. Here are a few that you can make your own:<\/p>\n

Great Bar Bite Options<\/h5>\n
Tacos.<\/b><\/span><\/h6>\n

Be sure to use the small street taco- or mini-sized shells. You can use traditional Mexican style or get creative with Southern or Korean BBQ, Jamaican jackfruit or Citrus fish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dumplings.<\/b><\/h6>\n

There are many styles of dumplings. The most common are Chinese potstickers and Japanese gyoza. Both use pork and cabbage with various herbs and spices.<\/p>\n

Empanadas.<\/b><\/h6>\n

Easy to prep ahead and warm to order; experiment with fillings. Chicken and beef are typical. Try potatoes, mushrooms, chorizo or pulled pork.<\/p>\n

Skewers.<\/b><\/h6>\n

These don\u2019t have to be kebabs. Satays, Souvlaki and Tandoori are popular.<\/p>\n

Elotes.<\/b><\/h6>\n

Traditionally grilled corn is smothered in mayo, grated cheese, chili powder and a squeeze of lime. This style has won over consumers so much that elotes-flavored products have exploded in retail groceries.<\/p>\n

Just Dough It<\/b><\/h4>\n

Go with your strength: dough. Customers can\u2019t get enough of your dough. Leverage your expertise with bar bites that speak to your talents. Think about doughy creations such as empanadas and pretzels. We\u2019ll help you get started with a couple of recipes. Remember try several batches and add in your own upgrades and techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Classic Beef Empanada Recipe\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Soft Pretzel Recipe<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not sure what to serve with pretzels? A high-quality whole-grain, hot or spicy brown mustard works well. Beer cheese is also a go-to for pretzel dipping. Yes, even a dill pickle dip hits the spot with a pretzel.<\/p>\n
