Clearly I'm biased (see my work experience), but I would highly recommend Restaurants & Institutions magazine (www.rimag.com). Its sister publications include Chain Leader (www.chainleader.com), Foodservice Equipment & Supplies (www.fesmag.com) and HOTELS magazine (www.hotelsmag.com), covering the chain restaurant segment, equipment & supplies segment, and hotel F&B segment, respectively. These are all excellent publications.

Outside of my company, I would recommend Food Arts, NRN, etc.

I'm a pastry chef- so I look to Pastry Art & Design, Chocolatier, Pastry's Best and Retail Baker. I'm sure there is a lot more out there that I am missing. I'd love to find out about more. However- I think my Husband would freak if I subscribed to one more magazine.

I typically receive about 30-40 different publications in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
many of them free subscription, but others which offer first hand information, and always on top of industry happenings and trends are worth the paid subscription fees. here's my top 10 list:

1) Nations restaurant news
2) Restaurant Business
3) Restaurant & Institutions
4) QSR
5) Food Service Equip/supplies
6) Restaurant Hospitality
7) Food Service Director
8) Hospitality Design
9) Hotel
10) New York

Food related publications:

1) Saveur
2) Gourmet
3) Food Arts
4) Modern Baking
5) Baking & Snack
6) Gourmet News
7) Specialty Food
8) Food & Wine
9) Pizza Today
10) Sunset


I hope anyone can reference my list and reciprocate any interesting publications/journals, I am also interested to learn more about international restaurant trends and concept developments, I look forward to learning new restaurant related tidbits.

Great newsletter! Unfortunately, I'm not a chain, and I don't read online. There's something about being able to curl up on the couch with a magazine that appeals to me. :)
