Here are a few fascinating food findings from this year’s report.
America’s near-universal request for ‘no onion’
In almost all 50 states, the most frequent special instruction on food orders was "no onion."
This common aversion to onions was accompanied by other frequent requests such as "no tomato" and "extra sauce."

The top four states that did not request a hold on onions were Michigan, Wisconsin, Utah and North Dakota. In those states, foodies most frequently requested that their orders were "extra spicy."
The no-booze boom
Amid 2022’s "sober curious" movement, Uber Eats saw a massive spike in requests for non-alcoholic beverages.
The service recorded a whopping 300% increase in orders of zero-proof beers, wines and spirits over the past year.

The decline of ranch dressing
Ranch lovers are known for their unwavering loyalty to the popular dressing. Yet requests for ranch have "dramatically dwindled" in recent years, according to Uber Eats.
While requests for extra sides of ranch once topped the charts pre-pandemic, these special instructions now don’t even crack the top 20.

No one does late-night munchies quite like college kids, apparently. But a few schools came out on top for the most ordering done after hours.

Campari specifically saw a 75% spike in sales.

Customers in 2022 were particular about washing down their meals with just the right beverage.
The most popular food and alcohol pairings included steak and margaritas, pizza and White Claw hard seltzer, burritos and margaritas, chicken and sangria, and wings and beer.
