Event Alert! National Restaurant Association Show: May 19th – May 22nd

May 10, 2018 by Chi@glance

At Chi@Glance we love checking out industry related events (especially when it comes to FOOD) and this year weโ€™re happy to be covering the 2018 National Restaurant Association Show (NRA). I look forward to sharing with you all the latest innovations in the Food and Beverage Industry! I started the show early by checking out one of the exhibitors Daelmans Stroopwaffels. No surprise here with my sweet tooth I was definitely looking forward to sampling their Dutch cookies. Keep scrolling, because not only will I be sharing why the NRA show is so important to the food & beverage industry, but I will also be giving you myย review of exhibitor Daelmans Stroopwaffels.

The National Restaurant Association (NRA)ย is the largest foodservice trade association in the world. They support over 500,000 restaurant businesses everyday by empowering restaurant owners and operators to achieve more than they thought possible. May 19th โ€“ May 22nd is the return of the highly anticipated NRA show. The show is an opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the Food and Beverage industry. This year there will be more than 2,300 companies/exhibitors and over 66,000 food service professionals from around the world.The show highlights the latest culinary breakthroughs, new equipment/technology, and bold insights from industry leaders. Influential executives, thought leaders, industry titans, and innovative exhibitors attend the show.

Daelmans Stroopwaffels

One of the exhibitors I would like to highlight is Daelmans Stroopwaffels. I was fortunate enough to sample their Dutch cookie products before the NRA show. Daelamans is a family owned company since 1909 and the leading stroopwafel baker in the world. Daelmans Stroopwafels are baked with care and contain no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or trans-fats.ย You can eat them straight from the package or use as a scrumptious, sweet andย malty treat when placed atop your hotย cup for only about one minute, allowing the heat to warm the biscuit, soften the caramel, and release the natural aroma of cinnamon and real Bourbon vanilla.

Thank You Daelmans for the samples! ๐Ÿ™‚

Daelmans Stroopwafelsย are available in three varieties โ€“ Caramel, Honey and the newly released Chocolate-Caramel, and three sizes, Jumbo, Large and Mini. In the U.S. you can find them in Specialty and Convenience chains includingย Walgreens, 7-Eleven, Barnes & Noble Starbucks Cafes, Cost Plus World Marketsย and Publix,ย plus finer independent food retailers across the U.S. You can even find the original caramel stroopwafel flavor at 30,000 feet on all domestic United Airlines flights in the morning!For more information on where to find Daelmans Stroopwafels locally, visit:ย www.thebrandpassport.com.

Master Chef Season Six Contestant, Tommy Walton

I devoured the sample box they sent me (of course sharing some with friends). The chocolate-caramel flavor was my fav! What a delicious treat! ๐Ÿ™‚ Also, if you stop by their booth 4674 at the NRA showย you can meet their Brand Ambassador: Master Chef Season Six Contestant, Tommy Walton. Heโ€™ll be making an appearance all 4 days of the show.

Iโ€™m back from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ผAND with tips. I got so many DMs t Iโ€™m back from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ผAND with tips. I got so many DMs that you guys are either going to Curacao or interested in visiting. One of my tools when planning trips is watching YouTube videos of the destination and then after I go I pay it forward and add tips of my own. 

For exampleโ€ฆI love a local experience. Iโ€™m always going to hit up the markets or find the authentic cuisine restaurants.

Did you know Queen Emma bridge is closed until the end of September? No worries! Thereโ€™s a FREE ferry that takes you across and runs about every 10 minutes. Go get your souvenirs and a good meal.

Why did I choose Lemon Beach club? Itโ€™s adults only and I wanted to relax on my cabana from 10am - 6pm with no kids around. ๐Ÿ˜…

Why did I choose to rent a car? ๐Ÿš˜ It was very reasonable and well worth it. $322 for 5 days from thrifty car rental at the airport. One shuttle ride from the airport to my hotel would have been $40. No Ubers in Curacao.

These tips and everything I did in 5 days is condensed into a 16 minute YouTube video on the @chiataglance YouTube channel. Are you heading to Curacao or interested in heading there? Save this post to help you plan your next trip. Where am I headed next? ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต
