Tour the Design Trends 2017
restaurant development + design magazine hosted its second annual Tour the Design Trends on Monday, June 12, 2017, where we gathered an elite group of restaurant designers to tour a handful of cutting-edge restaurants and foodservice venues in Chicago. At each location we met with a member of the design group who explained their vision and how they brought it to life. Signature items from their food and beverage menu were provided at each location while designers, architects and consultants had the opportunity to network and have personal Q&A sessions.
Thanks to our generous event sponsors:
