What is in a hot honey fried chicken bun?

A typical hot honey fried chicken bun, drawn from Hobart cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with bun, top (the top half), pickles (a few slices), hot honey (honey warmed with chilli, poured over the chicken), fried chicken (a crumbed, fried thigh), slaw (shredded cabbage and carrot, lightly dressed) and bun, bottom (a brioche or milk bun). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for hot honey from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Hobart with all of a trend's names added up.
