The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce South Central would like to share its heartfelt thanks and warm congratulations to the Texas Restaurant Association for having hosted a phenomenal Texas Restaurant Show (formerly the TRA Marketplace) in Dallas this week at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

More than 5,000 restaurateurs and industry experts were in attendance. And the standing-room-only seminars covered topics ranging from workforce solutions to ghost kitchens, growing through capital investment, diversity, inclusion, and bias training.

The IACC was proud to be there representing our many food industry members.

About the organizer, the Texas Restaurant Association:
