The trade show takes over McCormick Place every year, with more than 1,800 restaurant-themed suppliers in the mix. Everything from chef uniforms to table candles were spotlighted in booth after booth on multiple floors. Samples of alcoholic beverages were consumed in the International Wine, Spirits & Beer area downstairs.
More than 65,000 attendees brought in business from around the world, and each year this event grows bigger.
