Here are the individual ingredients Freeman predicts will be appearing more on restaurant menus next year:

• Pork secreto, which was described as “the hangar steak of pork — very tender”
• Ancient grains, such as bulgur and freekeh
• House-made ricotta (the new burrata)
• Lamb belly (the new pork belly)
• Lamb or goat neck
• Vegetable noodles as a replacement for traditional wheat noodles
• Push-pop ice creams
• Pig heads to share for a group

In the beverage world, Freeman said aperitifs and digestifs are growing in popularity with offerings such as small-batch vermouth. The pre-mixed cocktails in bottles and cans trend will also continue, and Freeman said vegetables will increasingly appear in cocktails. Consumers will discover Corsican wines, as well, and sherry is making a comeback.

Restaurants are also getting creative with wine pricing. For example, they're offering some wines by the ounce and half bottles at half price, and some menus stick with one price for all wine within a certain category. Among the hot drinks for 2013:

• Cynar, an Italian bitter liqueur
• Becherovka, bitters from the Czech Republic
• Chartreuse
• House-made tonic
• Honey beers
