50 Great Restaurant Ideas
January 1, 2013




Gathering great ideas for this annual issue is inspiring—and easy. We don’t have to look far to find hundreds; the restaurant industry has no shortage of innovative thinkers and creative types. It’s a bona-fide idea factory. Whittling down the choices to 50? That’s the hard part. In our search for great ideas, we also like to look at categories that relate to the world of restaurants—like food markets, hotels, agriculture, fashion and packaging. So take a look at our 2013 collection. We hope you find them as inspirational as we do.
