Chicago is home to Deep Dish Pizza and the ultimate Chicago Dog.  But it’s also home to the annual National Restaurant Association’s annual show.  An annual gathering of food service and restaurant professionals.  And it’s amazing!

Downing Marketing Group makes this an annual trip – because it’s a great opportunity to connect with our manufacturers like Front Of The House and Dudson.

It also gives us a chance to meet thousand of potential clients and new vendors.  In fact, more than 60,000 professionals and 2,000 exhibitors are on hand.

Check out this graphic provided by the National Restaurant Association.  It shows some pretty great trends for the restaurant industry, especially for Florida!
