CHICAGO, IL (Sept. 7, 2005) — Ideal Media announced today that Bill Anderson has been named publisher of FoodService Director magazine.

"We are all very pleased that Bill has re-joined our team." said Julian Taylor, president, Ideal Media. "His background and dedication in the foodservice arena provides a perfect fit for leading FoodService Director.
