City Line Distributors is proud to announce its annual City Line Food Show, taking place Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at the renowned Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, Connecticut. This highly anticipated industry event brings together independent restaurant operators, chefs, foodservice professionals, and top national and regional suppliers for a full day of tasting, innovation, and culinary inspiration.

This year’s show will feature more than 140 exhibiting vendors, exclusive show-only promotions, live culinary demonstrations, samples, tastings and new product launches. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet directly with leading manufacturers and explore the newest products in protein, produce, grocery, beverage, disposables, equipment, and specialty categories. Chefs and specialist teams will showcase trending ingredients, seasonal menu ideas, and operational solutions tailored to today’s foodservice challenges—from labor-saving products to cost-efficient scratch alternatives. Guests can enjoy sampling across every category—appetizers, center-of-plate, ready-to-use sauces, desserts, beverages, and more—making it a perfect opportunity to discover new must-have items. Members of City Line’s sales, culinary, procurement, and marketing teams will be on-site to support operators with product guidance, menu planning, and business-building strategies.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome independent operators from across New England to this year’s City Line Food Show,” said John Buck, VP of Sales for City Line. “We’re committed to supporting the success of local restaurants by providing access to top-tier products, strategic insights, and industry-leading vendor partnerships.
