In addition to healthcare, honored segments included elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, specialty food services, and chain full service, according to an article on the Food Management website.
Winners are chosen by a jury that includes national trade press editors, foodservice experts, past award winners and the chairperson of the International Gold & Silver Plate Society. From among the eight Silver Plate winners, one is chosen to receive the IFMA Gold Plate.
The winner of the 2014 Gold Plate Award will be announced at the Gold & Silver Plate Awards celebration on May 19th.
