THE LEGACY CONTINUES! Congratulations to our Hot Food Competition Team for winning the State of Ohio competition for a 6th year in a row! 


ACF Columbus Chapter holds several of their monthly meetings at CCI. We were privileged to recently host a meeting which featured Diana Clark of Certified Angus Beef LLC from Wooster, Ohio. Ms. Clark educated those in attendance on the true meaning of “Certified Angus Beef” and the 10 exacting specifications for marbling, size and uniformity to earn the Certified Angus Beef certification. She spoke in detail on the 10 specifications and the science behind them. She also spoke of the value of Certified Angus Beef to the food service industry; satisfied customers and return visits.

CCI would like to thank the ACF Columbus Chapter and Blue Ribbon Meats for arranging a truly thorough and educational meeting!
