The thrill of a great tailgate party is fuel for an exciting game ahead and sometimes the food itself emerges as the big winner! In this issue, we celebrate football food in many different forms, with our roundup of touchdown-scoring eats from college and professional football. And be sure to check out the recap of the recent Menu Directions conference, which was held at The Ohio State University in the fall. Cute food-delivery robot alert! As always, we have videos, articles and more fresh content focusing other foodservice segments as well, such as a closer look at bringing a totally fresh attitude to K-12. An in-depth Q&A with a foodservice living legend, a nostalgic-yet-relevant look back at past issue of FM with Vintage FM and a new section—a corner for cookbooks—are other pages to page through for sure.
