The Massachusetts Restaurant Association is very pleased to announce our 2018 Hall of Fame Inductees. Nominations were submitted from around the state for both operators and business partners, and the committee had a challenging selection process among industry leaders with very strong credentials. Without further ado, here is the Class of 2018:

Nancy Matheson-Burns, President & CEO of Dole & Bailey based in Woburn, a full service supplier who has been providing chefs throughout the northeast with high quality foods for 150 years, with a strong focus on local, sustainable products.

Ron Emma, Owner/operator of three Emma’s Pub & Pizza locations in southeastern MA, Angelo’s Beachside in Ogunquit ME, and a wholesale pizza business sold at supermarkets across the region.

Judy Herrell, Owner/operator of the iconic Herrell’s Ice Cream in Northampton.  Herrell’s  revolutionized the ice cream industry many years ago by making high quality, small batch ice cream and was the first to use crumbled “mix-in’s” to create a gourmet product.

Pat Moscaritolo, President & CEO, Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, Boston. Pat has led this organization for the past 28 years and has been a significant driver in the soaring tourism industry throughout the greater Boston and MA region.  Pat has worked closely with the hotel, restaurant and associated tourism related businesses in the accommodating a record number or tourists.

Please join us in celebrating their achievements at the MRA Hall of Fame Dinner, October 23rd, at The Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA.
