I have to say, the Foodservice show this year was a lot of fun! I went to scope out the best area for a booth in the years to come; to see which areas drove the most traffic and which areas were too congested to engage in meaningful discussion. It seems as though the hot ticket to get people to your booth this year was to offer free frozen yogurt - I was guilty of a sample, even from another insurance booth :) They knew who I was, so I didn't fee bad!
If you run your own restaurant or bar, you definitely owe yourself a trip to the show. Just don't wait too long and miss the free online registration! I missed it by ONE day and ended up paying the $25 - which isn't bad, but still...free would have been much better :)
Looking forward to having a booth when it comes back to Seattle in 2014. Can't decide whether or not we should do Portland; not sure it would bear much fruit for us down there.
