Trends in food and beverage are always evolving but the last few years have provided drastic, business-altering change. How are restaurants doing now? What is the food and beverage scene like in Chicago going into a pivotal summer? What are the top trends for Publicity Club of Chicago professionals to know as they operate in this space? To answer these questions and more, we will be turning to a panel of experts.

Join PCC on Wednesday, March 8 between 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at Carlucci’s located at 400 E. Randolph in Chicago. “Check Please!” creator and "The Dining Table" host David Manilow and Crain's Chicago Business Reporter Ally Marrotti will be in conversation with our moderator, MMW Group's John Digles.

Two predictions from us going into the event?

  1. You won’t want to miss this conversation
  2. Tinned fish will already be out as a fad by the time we meet
