The National Restaurant Show in Chicago

I had the pleasure of attending the National Restaurant Show in Chicago May 21-24, 2005. I was there in my role as Executive Chef and Culinary Consultant for Granoff Caviar, LTD. I created numerous dishes and hors d'oeuvres using Granoff's signature Black Label product.

Granoff is a caviar alternative, and is being used by caterers, banquet managers, and country club chefs. I created a number of dishes, some of which are pictured here. I also found a few moments here and there to explore the more than 2,000 booths at the McCormick Place Convention Center. This is the largest food related show of it's kind, with more than 10,000 people attending. Chefs, producers, food writers, and manufacturers from all around the world attended. It was great working with Ed Kleidman, Ilya Singer, and Michael Mamontlivi, the "Granoff Guys".
