The Beef Checkoff Program is one of only five honorees and the first commodity to be inducted into the Multi-Unit Foodservice Operators (MUFSO) “Supplier Hall of Fame.”

Cattlemen’s Beef Board Chairman Jay O’Brien, a producer from Texas, accepted the award – which is produced by Nation’s Restaurant News, the weekly national news publication covering the foodservice channel – during the MUFSO conference in Dallas Oct. 15-18.

“Each day, nearly a million hardworking men and women go about the business of putting beef on America’s tables, and on their behalf, I’d like to thank the team at Nation’s Restaurant News for our 20-plus years of successful, groundbreaking partnership,” O’Brien said upon accepting the prestigious award.
