This question is giving the interviewer an idea on your level of creativity and excitement when it comes to menu creation. There is no right or wrong answer here but you do need to show enthusiasm in your answer. If you can make the interviewer's mouth water with your delicious ideas, even better!

"I find that culinary trends are becoming simpler; however, people want unique flavor combinations. If cost were not issue I would love to do premium kobe beef, black pepper, and truffle burgers. I think it's a fun twist on a classic plate, and it feels decadent without the need to be fine dining."
