Day 2 at HORECA witnessed the success of a show that was attended by thousands of people from the food and hospitality industries and beyond. The even bigger surprise was that many of the visitors simply came to the show because they heard how fun day 1 was and they wanted to be a part of that excitement. There was booth after booth of mouthwatering food samples followed by a whiff of vintage Lebanese wine in the large tent where hundreds of people were enjoying an early happy hour. The mouthwatering smell of freshly cooked food filled the air as live cooking competitions and demonstrations took place in different sections of HORECA. With international guest chefs and outstanding local talents, HORECA Show 2011 was definitely not an event to be missed!
