(TROY, MI – SEPTEMBER 5, 2019) – The Joe Vicari Restaurant Group announces Andiamo Catering & Event Management has been named the Official Food Provider for the 2020 North American International Auto Show’s (NAIAS) Hart Plaza activation. Andiamo Catering and Event Management is an industry leader throughout Southeast Michigan and has been the official food provider for other major events in Detroit including Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, Movement, The Ford Fireworks Rooftop Party and The Ally Challenge. Andiamo Catering & Event Management was named “Best Caterer in 2019” by Michigan Meetings and Events Magazine. NAIAS will take place June 9 – 20, 2020.
“We are honored to be named the Official Food Provider of the North American International Auto Show’s outdoor activation, an event which is iconic to the city of Detroit,” said Joe Vicari, President and CEO of the Joe Vicari Restaurant Group. “This partnership allows Andiamo to showcase our one-of-a-kind homemade Italian food to local and international guests while they enjoy the amazing auto show.”
For the first time, media, automakers, suppliers, and sponsors will see Detroit in one of the very best months, June, allowing for increased foot traffic to local businesses and throughout the city. NAIAS will highlight all of the great aspects of past shows and build upon those with additional space, the ability to experience different cultures, and tech-talks with the industry’s brightest minds. As in years past, the epicenter of the show will still be within TCF Center, however the addition of Hart Plaza to the show’s location will add 14 acres to the show’s footprint, leaving room for guests to experience a more grand and exciting show.
“The 2020 NAIAS is going to be an experience in every aspect of the show,” said Doug North, 2020 NAIAS Chairman. “From vehicle ride-and-drives to technology showcases and the best foods Detroit can offer. Partnering with Andiamo will provide our guests with unique food experiences in a fun atmosphere.”
Many of Detroit’s most popular Food Trucks will be in attendance, including the Andiamo Food Truck which debuted at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix in 2015. The Andiamo Food Truck features Italian classics as well as modern specialties that are both delicious and convenient.
