The 2009 National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show® is the culinary world’s leading event to explore the hottest restaurant menu trends happening now, as well as the trends of tomorrow.

Scores of food and beverage product innovations will be showcased throughout the exhibit floor, in interactive culinary demonstrations and education sessions led by top chefs, restaurateurs, forecasters and trend-setters during the event, May 16-19 at Chicago’s McCormick Place.

Attendees will get a year’s worth of ideas for menus that will be sure to wow their guests in dining rooms, bars, takeout counters, private parties, weddings and any other foodservice venue.

"The NRA Show is the best event in the foodservice and hospitality industry to spot the hottest up-and-coming food trends that will be seen on menus across the U.S.,"said Lorna Donatone, Convention Chair for NRA Show 2009 and President of School Services, Sodexo, Inc. "To stay competitive in the current economy, restaurants must satisfy consumers’ constantly changing needs by keeping their menus fresh. NRA Show 2009 will bring together a global marketplace that offers attendees ideas and products they can take home and apply to their own menus."   < a href="/node/1594 " target="_blank" rel="noopener">NRA show 2010
