It’s an anniversary no one is looking at fondly. Last March, the United States experienced what one hopes is the most traumatic crisis to hit the country in our lifetimes, the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most programs have had to alter the ways their food is prepared and served, how it’s presented—packaged for the most part with no self-serve—and where it’s consumed. The pandemic has prompted innovation, technological advancement and menu creativity, a lot of which isn’t going to go completely away no matter how effectively vaccines end the crisis.
