Gluten-free isn't just a fad. In an effort to accommodate clients, restaurants are offering gluten-free alternatives. The Fairmont hotel chain offers a Lifestyle Cuisine Plus program with specialized menus for those who eat gluten-free. The White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine, sells gluten-free baked goods made by a local bakery. Casa Nonna, an Italian restaurant in New York City, offers a special menu for diners that includes gluten-free penne. Chefs are also experimenting with grains like bulgar and quinoa as a new update to rice or pasta.

Drink your vegetables. From cocktails to cleanses, it's time to dust off the juicers. Kale, beet or celery juices are appearing in cleanses from Blueprint or in cocktails at the Trencherman in Chicago. Liquiteria in New York City is a popular juice bar with a cult celebrity following.

Take a look at some other upcoming trends you don't want to miss:

• From meat to skin: Crispy chicken skin is becoming a main ingredient with menu items like chicken skin tacos or mixed with pasta.
• Eating outdoors: Terraces and rooftops are popping up as new spaces for restaurant expansion.
• Upscale tacos: Mexican food will merge with fine-dining for an upscale flair.
• Vacation inspiration: Chefs are traveling the world and changing their menu based on their experiences.
• It's all about the drink: Wine and beer pairings aren't the only thing available. Cocktails are gearing themselves more towards food with cocktail-menu pairing options.
