furieusement tendance

Cooking / Culinary
This is from a recipe in a food magazine. A simple enough phrase. Trying to think of the best way to put it is rather difficult though: so many possibilities, yet I can't seem to find one I'm entirely happy with. Any suggestions very welcome...
Furieusement tendance : le thon poêlé et son bacon croustillant.

Comment: "Good suggestion, though in fact I went with something else in the end (A sea change: pan-fried tuna and crispy bacon). Many thanks to everyone who answered or commented - it's always great to see such a high level of response."

terminally trendy
alliteration is always useful in this sort of prose, especially if it's not forced; terminally is used exactly the way furieusement is.

Thank you. I'm surprised that people seem to not be aware of this use of "terminally" It's been in hipspeak for quite a while and mirrors the use of furieusement in this phrase.
