Deep Dish on Trends & Tastes

During the annual International Foodservice Editorial Council gathering in Chicago, conference organizers encouraged attendees to celebrate everything the city had to offer!

New this year, conference attendees embarked on a Trend Around to several Chicago's top restaurants where they enjoyed sponsored appetizers and plates, as well as had the opportunity to chat with the restaurant's chefs.

The two-day event also showcased many of the year's top trends during a networking breakfast (where food editors presented on many of the year's top trends) as well as a closing reception at the newly remodeled event space at Kendall College.

Here's a look at what attendees experienced (and tasted!) in Chicago.
