NEW YORK, NY, Seven International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show® (IH/M&RS) exhibitors were honored with IH/M&RS Editors’ Choice Awards during the Opening Ceremony on Sunday, November 13, 2005, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

The 10th annual Editors’ Choice Awards were presented in six categories: Décor, Flavors, Restaurant, Technology, Essentials and Luxury, along with the Kenneth F. Hine “Best of Show” award. Editors from the top hospitality and culinary trade publications reviewed nearly 120 submissions and selected outstanding new products based on innovative product design, how a product answers a particular industry need, creative use of material or construction, and development or use of a new technology.

The 2005 IH/M&RS Editors’ Choice Award winners are:

  • Kenneth F. Hine “Best of Show” – Hotel Technologies (Rahway, NJ) for iHome, an alarm clock radio that works in tandem with an iPod™.

  • Decor – Eaunon (Lonoka Harbor, NJ) for Snap! Shower Curtain Seal, which prevents hotel shower curtains from leaking and causing water damage.

  • Flavors – Hospitality Confections (East Norwalk, CT) for ChocolateInTheCan, quality Belgium chocolates packaged uniquely in a refrigerated can.

  • Restaurant – The Vollrath Company, LLC (Sheboygan, WI) for FoodFrames Modular Buffet, a revolutionary buffet design that saves space while utilizing electricity, fuel and ice to keep food hot or cold.

  • Technology – Excel Dryer Inc. (East Longmeadow, MA) for XLERATOR Hand Dryer, a cost-saving technology that utilizes 80 percent less energy than regular hand dryers.

  • Essentials – Vegas Doorstops, LLC (Las Vegas, NV) for Door Pro, a lightweight, hinge-based approach to the doorstop.

  • Luxury – Mission: Allergy (Hawleyville, CT) for Premium Allergen Proof Pillow and Mattress Encasings, which prevent common allergens from escaping hotel pillows and bed linens.

“This year’s Editors’ Choice Award winners represent innovative new approaches to everyday products of the hospitality industry”, said Christian Falkenberg, show manager. “We are excited to introduce these emerging technologies to the thousands of industry professionals in attendance.”

Judges for the 10th annual IH/M&RS Editors’ Choice Awards for Best New Products were: Sue Holaday, Food Service East; Joseph Carbonara, Foodservice Equipment & Supplies; Michael Birchenall, Foodservice Monthly; Mario Schacher, Global Foodservice; Reid Paul, Hospitality Technology; Jeff Higley, Hotel & Motel Management; Margaret Rose Caro, Hotel Food & Beverage Executive; Dick Johnson, Hotel Online; Philip Hayward, Lodging; Ed Watkins, Lodging Hospitality; Matthew DeLucia, New York Restaurant Insider; and Fred Klashman, Total Food Service .
