FLATBREADS
Flatbreads continue to be a popular menu item lead by continued manufacturer innovation as well as chain business. A lot of success can be realized by operations that use flatbreads in multiple applications, from appetizers to sandwiches and pizzas. They can be served sweet, savory or totally out of the ordinary.
RESTAURANT-STYLE DINING
We see more and more restaurants popping up lately inside other businesses. Retail stores and senior living communities are currently two of the most popular types of establishments to bring in restaurants.
Classic Hoagie Flatbread (952750 – 144/2.75 oz)
TECHNOLOGY
Technology continues to revolutionize the way customers find dining as well as the types of marketing dining establishments are doing. Customers and restaurants are now even looking for technology to make ordering and wait times more efficient.
UPSCALE, UNIQUE & ARTISAN
A slight increase in cost can bring signature items onto your menu and bigger profits your way. Everything from artisan breads and crusts to local and upscale center of the plate items continue to be a big focus.
CREAM CHEESE STUFFED SALMON 500 CALORIE PLATE OPTION 4 oz 1/4 cup 1 Tbsp 1/4 tsp 1/8 tsp Scan this code or go to www.mccormickforchefs.com to get the forecast!
Salmon Fillet (925730) Kraft Philadelphia Fat Free Cream Cheese (903738) Yellow Onion, chopped McCormick Italian Seasoning (472721) McCormick Table Grind Black Pepper (472538; 472551)
Preheat oven to broil. Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Cut a pocket lengthwise in the middle of the salmon for easy stuffing. Spread cream cheese and onion in pocket. Sprinkle seasonings on top. Place on baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes or until light pink in color. Serve with 1/2 cup vegetables and 4 potato slices.

CULINARY CONCEPTS
7 8
For the past couple years, one of the hottest restaurant trends has been to use and feature local ingredients. This year, we find the local focus continuing to migrate onto the drink menu with more and more restaurants featuring local wines and beers, as well.
INTERNATIONAL CUISINE
Unique flavors such as Sriracha and menu items from across the globe continue to be popular. Many restaurants, however, are starting to opt to incorporate an item or flavor here and there throughout their menu rather than having whole sections dedicated to a specific cuisine. DURoC Pork Chop (928100 – 3/6 lb; 934040 – 6/3 lb)
SQUARE DINNERWARE
A big trend in dinnerware is square. For instance, Libbey World Tableware Slate Ultra Bright White Square Plates (90464293 – 12/9 in, 90464295 – 36/6-1/4 in and 90464301 – 12/10-5/8 in) are very popular right now.
SMALLER PLATES
Think big flavor, small portion, classy plate presentation and marketability. Features such as 500 calorie plates, for instance, are the next big thing for healthy eating.

HEALTHY EATING ON THE GO
With the New Year comes resolutions, and one of the most popular resolutions year after year is weight loss. Many customers will likely start to make a special effort over the next couple months to eat healthy. However, it can be tough to eat healthy on the go. Convenience stores often carry an abundance of chips, candy, soda and other tempting eats, and it’s appealing to order something loaded with calories if ordering takeout from restaurants. We’ve rounded up some healthy alternatives to help you offer better choices for your customers to start their New Year resolution off right! PRODUCT FEATURES FRUITS, VEGGIES & DIPS

FITNESS IN SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES:
Staying Active Over 50 Jessy Hamawi, MS, CDM, CFPP - Featured
Feeling your best and staying healthy is important at any age. But as we age, we experience life-changing events, anywhere from career changes to retirement, children leaving home, the loss of loved ones and even physical change. How we handle these changes is key to staying healthy. Regular exercise and constantly being physically active are important to both the physical and mental health of almost everyone, especially older adults. Being physically active can help you continue to do the things you enjoy and stay as independent as possible.
Guest Author
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, regular exercise and physical activity can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and disabilities that develop as people grow older. Senior living communities across the nation have invested time and money in building fitness centers with programs that focus on issues affecting the geriatric population such as arthritis, balance, muscle and strength loss, post-rehab and flexibility. When starting a fitness program, choose low impact and/or water workouts such as swimming, biking or yoga.

Setting & Achieving New Year’s Goals
TWO COMMON GOALS & HOW TO ACHIEVE THEM WEIGHT LOSS
Chris Timmons, RD, LD Martin Bros. Menu Development Manager
SETTING GOALS SUCCESSFUL GOALS Specific – Narrow down what you truly want to
accomplish.
Measurable – Write goals down and set individual
deadlines throughout the year(s) to be able to track progress and see some positive movement.
Attainable – Be realistic, otherwise it will become overwhelming. Focus on the small steps you need to take to get where you ultimately want to be. Relevant – Be sure your goals are worthwhile for you and
match your true needs and desires.
POSITIVE GOALS
> Your goals should be about what you really want to do and achieve. > Don’t just think about what you “should” do or what others think you should do. > Think about what you are already doing on your journey to achieving your goals. 12
> Don’t skip any meals. > Add 30 minutes of activity per day, even if it’s accomplished by spreading it across your day. > Eliminate sugary beverages. > Eat five servings of fruits and veggies. Consider keeping some already cut up in the refrigerator so they are easy to grab and great for taking on the go, too. > Plan healthy snacks. > If you have a weight loss group at work, facilitate the goal success by offering 500 calorie plate meals. WORK/MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT
> Try one new Simply Menus recipe each week. Martin Bros. Dietitians can assist you in finding good matches for your facility, the ability of your cooks, etc. > Try one new convenience item from Martin Bros. per week. Martin Bros. Dietitians or your sales consultant can help match to your needs, including your budget. > Participate in the monthly Martin Bros. Webinars and other Martin Bros. Events. Go to www.martinsnet.com/ events for more information. > Cross train one employee by June 1 and one employee by December 1 to be able to do more than one position in the department. > Implement one new Cost Control Tip on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1.

Bush’s Best Bean Pot Baked Beans (600190 – 6/#10)
Trusted Brand Feature:
Increasingly strict requirements have made serving the K-12 segment even more challenging. Fortunately, beans are an option that many kids like and can be served in ways that get them eating…and they pass the “healthy” test, too. Here are a few suggestions that can help “spill the beans” into your menu: REFORMULATE: Are you already serving a salad? Add Garbanzo Bean Ranch Crunchers and you have a new look and something that will get them eating more of it! Are you already serving tacos or nachos? Add Black or Pinto Beans to give them the nutrition they need!
Bush’s Best Low Sodium Garbanzo Beans (601060 – 6/#10)
ADD AS A SIDE: Are you already serving a hot dog? Add Baked Beans as a side! NEW MENU ITEMS: Are your kids in need of something new? Try adding new items featuring beans!

Washing and sanitizing hands: a wallop of prevention. Wash your hands often with soap and warm water. Alcohol-based sanitizers are also effective.
Cool down germ hot spots.
Nothing says “bless you” like a tissue or elbow. Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands. Germs can be spread through touch.
Thank you for not sharing.
Since illness-causing germs can live on frequently touched surfaces, disinfect them often.
If you’re sick, stay home. The CDC recommends that you stay home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. And get better soon.
Flu shots — stick it to germs.
Healthy habits, happy immune system.
The single best way to prevent flu is to get vaccinated. It is easy, low-cost, saves lives and doesn’t hurt ... much.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food. Germs won’t have a chance. Partnering to
Spread Prevention

DISPOSERS 101
5 Reasons Disposers are the Proper Place for Food Waste Natalea Koehn, Martin Bros. Equipment, Supply & Disposables Category Marketing Manager According to our vendor partner InSinkErator, decades of scientific studies have shown disposers to be a sound ecological option for disposing food waste. With a disposer, food waste is ground into fine particles and safely flushed into the sewage system. Here are five reasons why disposers are the best answer for food waste:
1 2
Disposers keep food waste out of dumpsters and landfills so that it doesn’t have the chance to decompose and create odors, attract pests and serve as a breeding ground for bacteria. Disposers help reduce landfills.

Disposers help reduce the water table contamination brought on by bacteria from decomposing foods. Disposers make the recycling process easier, cleaner and more efficient. Disposers allow foodservice operations to separate messy food waste from bottles, cans, plastics and paper.
Disposers give back to the Earth. Many municipalities actually “recycle” the sludge from their treatment plants. This sludge is returned to the Earth in the form of fertilizer and ground conditioner, a substance that has been found to be completely safe for this usage.
Six Signs Your Disposer May Need to be Disposed Of (& Replaced) Kam Miller, Martin Bros. Equipment Sales Manager
Some of the following signs of malfunction in disposers are somewhat obvious, but busy times make it important to point these signs out and think about how current disposer(s) are working.
