New Openings & Talent: Aalia in Sydney unveils a new era under Executive Chef Adam Wolfers, spotlighting seafood and vegetables with fire-led cooking. Hospitality Operations: Lehigh University rerouted dining during Rathbone Dining Hall HVAC work, while the University of Florida leans into global flavors (boba, ramen, sushi, poke, Korean fried chicken, Indian) to keep Gen Z engaged. Trade & Consumer Demand: Hong Kong’s Food Expo and related fairs drew 520,000 visits and 1,850 exhibitors, with buyers from 30+ regions. Beverage Culture Moment: ICEE launches National ICEE Day on Aug. 18 with free small ICEEs at participating locations. Regulatory Watch: California ABC authorized new liquor license rounds across multiple counties, with application windows in mid-September.
