Iron Chef America judge and Italian culinary expert Mario Rizzotti will emcee the annual Pizza Pizzazz competition at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Jan. 29.
Stop by the competition to see Rizzotti in action and to watch as 40 competitors battle for the title of, "Best Pizza in the Midwest."
Rizzotti joins a growing list of talented chefs and personalities at the event, which is part of the Mid-America Restaurant Expo. Restaurateur and James Beard-nominated cookbook author Richard Blais is the keynote speaker on Jan. 29.
The Mid-America Restaurant Expo is 25 years in the making from the Ohio Restaurant Association (ORA) and will focus on the growing use of innovation and technology in the foodservice industry. It will feature innovations in labor-saving equipment, restaurant point of sale systems and leadership seminars that focus on current trends and the future of foodservice.
"Technology and consumer trends are changing rapidly," according to John Barker, ORA president. "Restaurant customers expect their favorite place to offer an app, deliver their food, provide healthy options and make more choices available. Our Expo will present outstanding technology and speakers to address these opportunities."
The Mid-America Restaurant Expo will feature multimedia demonstrations on five stage and head-to-head culinary competitions. There will be an after hours networking event, plus opportunities to make business connections on the exhibit floor, as well as a Tasting Pavilion that will showcase craft beers and local spirits.
