“The Pleasure Principle” is the name of a Janet Jackson song from 1986, and it’s also the title of the 2015 Trends Report from Andrew Freeman & Co., the hospitality marketing and public relations agency that each November reveals its predictions for what’s going to be hot in restaurants and hotels for the coming year.
