Focus groups were employed to gather qualitative information from casual dining restaurant consumers and kitchen managers. A consumer sensory evaluation was conducted in a restau rant environment to quantitatively test the perceptions gleaned in the focus group interviews on a larger scale. The alliance has made significant progress in develop ing the beef appetizer concept for the foodservice market.
