CHICAGO - There were 2,000 exhibitors, several hundred of which were showing mechanical refrigeration products that contractors and technicians will be more than likely called upon to install or service. The National Restaurant Association 2005 Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show here was the place to be.
The expo had a wide range of new refrigeration-related technologies, from the basics of ice machines and walk-in units, to new ways of dispensing beer and adding extra flavoring to soft drinks.
