The National Restaurant Association’s 2024 show is only a few days away, welcoming industry members to Chicago, Illinois, on May 18–21 this year. As over 55,000 foodservice professionals from 107 different countries gather to explore all the sector has to offer, the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) will be showing off a variety of innovative and sustainably sourced dairy products.
“The National Restaurant Association show is a fantastic opportunity for California dairy to reach new audiences within the hospitality and foodservice industries. California is a reliable, consistent source of sustainable dairy products used by chefs and enjoyed by consumers throughout the world,” said John Talbot, Chief Executive Officer of the CMAB. “As the nation’s largest dairy state, California boasts an impressive lineup of award-winning cheesemakers and dairy processors that are helping to drive dining innovation.”
During the event, CMAB will aim to connect with industry professionals while sharing why sourcing California dairy is a winning strategy for foodservice operators, a press release detailed.
