Earlier this week, The National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show announced the 39 recipients of the 2025 Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards, celebrating products redefining menus, driving consumer demand and helping restaurant operators enhance profitability. This year’s standout products reflect growing trends in globally inspired flavors, clean-label ingredients, innovative plant-based alternatives and convenience-driven solutions that simplify kitchen operations.

Attendees can experience these acclaimed products firsthand during the National Restaurant Association Show, taking place May 17–20, 2025, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

“The FABI Awards put the spotlight on products shaping today’s menus and consumer experiences,” says Tom Cindric, president of exhibitions for Informa Connect Foodservice. “This year’s selections demonstrate how suppliers are creatively responding to key operator needs—menu versatility, sustainable sourcing, and products that resonate with consumers. Attendees can count on the Show as their source for discovering standout solutions and uncovering the products and trends they’ll bring back to their businesses.”

The FABI Awards help foodservice operators discover impactful food and beverage products selected by an independent panel of judges. These experts—representing renowned brands such as Wendy’s, Aramark and Buffalo Wild Wings—evaluate submissions based on taste, operational impact, profitability potential, consumer appeal and the ability to address real-world challenges for operators.
