Any idea how Google is doing this? Is it schematic? http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/28/google-adds-full-restaurant-menus-to-its-search-results-pages/

Google is now showing menus on select searches.  Any idea how they are getting this information? I would like to make sure my clients get visibility this way.

This is going to be markup language, Schema / MicroData perhaps, but I haven't come across this myself yet.

I think perhaps it is time to do some digging

Edit

Just read this:

"Update: A Google spokesperson let us know that restaurant menu data is coming from an unnamed data partner. It's similar to how Google uses data from The Weather Channel and other partners to pull in data for searches about the weather."

So there we go - I am sure we will all find out soon.

According to this, it really isn't known for sure yet:

I appreciate your taking the time to answer this.  If it is helpful I found out that the Google carousel is most often populated from pictures on relevant Google + pages.

Thanks again for your input!
