The melting pot of international tastes and flavors that influence the food of Puerto Rico is the perfect place for this year’s conference, especially with Americans’ growing appreciation and desire for more worldly flavors to be available on menus nationwide. Of course, our chefs are excited to be able to venture out and experience those flavors for themselves, too, from the myriad of amazing restaurants the area has to offer!
