There have been a lot of conversations lately that ended with this phrase, as old friends and new acquaintances plan to make connections at the restauratn show in Chicago this weekend. After attending 34 of these (yes…in a row) I still really enjoy the chance encounters on the show floor with my "foodservice peeps."
But unlike “the old days” there are a myriad of methods of connecting today that weren’t there even as recently as last year. For example, if you want to find me, you can:
· Call or text me at 404.394.1849
· Twitter me @InfiniTom (add #NRA09 to your tweet)
Or you can just look for a goofy old guy walking the show aisles (who looks somewhat like the cue ball to the right) and say hello. Despite rumors to the contrary, I am quite capable of holding my own in a live conversation…
So enjoy yourself in Chicago. I’ll keep an eye out for you…
