To mark the close of 2013 and the start of 2014, we’ve created this roundup of the most exciting new products, appearances from industry professionals, noteworthy tidbits from our Blog, and events of the past year.

From a failed burglary attempt in a foodservice operation, to a little help from Shelly the Friendly Health Inspector where she shares insider information on “Things that annoy inspectors during an Inspection” and our feature of Foodservice Business of the Week to our wicked homage to Chain Restaurants and another year of Best in Class for Storage products, here’s everything you need to know about the year that was and the year that will be.
