What a great time of year for Foodservice Educators.
Finals are fast approaching, which means graduation is coming, which means it’s time for….. THE RESTAURANT SHOW! I know that many of you attend regularly, some of you attend every few years and probably all of you have attended at least once in your lifetime. After all it’s an opportunity to network with fellow educators and industry partners from around the country and even the world. It’s also an extravaganza of new products, seminars by leading experts, (some of them our own FELC members) and always new equipment.
It’s the equipment that draws my interest. OK, OK, the Budweiser booth is cool too. But the NRA show and the NAFEM show are where the manufacturers introduce their latest products. While many of the new items are no more than window dressing on old model numbers, some are quite innovative. Often it takes a discerning eye to separate the old from the new. That said; rest assured that manufacturers, as a whole, work hard in their research and development departments to give foodservice operators the equipment they demand. And these demands change from time to time.
