The Association for Career Technical Education of Arizona, ACTE AZ Summer Conference was July 13th-18th at Loews Ventana Canyon resort in Tucson, AZ. I presented a presentation on the top 10 menu trends from the American Culinary Federation and the National Restaurant Association with Larry Canepa.
We showed how these food trends being developed in our local communities, how is food service embracing these changes from all perspectives, and how is it changing our culture through a menu. Presentation recap will be posted in a PowerPoint Presentation and video.
