One of the most prestigious competitions in collegiate foodservice, the Loyal E. Horton Dining Awards contest is a highly competitive peer recognition program. The awards recognize exemplary menus, presentations, special event planning, and dining concepts, and provide an avenue for sharing ideas and creative presentations. Judges spent several days at the NACUFS office in Okemos, Mich., poring over more than 150 entries for this year’s contest. In the end, 68 gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention awards were presented to the “best of the best” in the contest’s six categories. The grand prize winners were announced at the association’s national conference in Dallas and are featured on the following pages. 2011 dining awards judges (from left): Dan Yerigan, Mike Martin, Robert Landolphi, Amy Crump, Karen Nelles, Meredith Statler, Jill Irvin.
