In today’s dynamic and growing full-service industry, Rising Stars can be found everywhere, from the best start-up kitchens to some of the country’s most established restaurants. FSR is pleased to feature these up-and-coming headliners in our March 2016 issue. “Rising Stars” will focus on top industry professionals from all aspects of full-service restaurant operations.

And how do we define a Rising Star? While most of the stars will likely be under 40, we don't want to lock ourselves into an age restriction. If you know a Rising Star who's 60, 70, even 100, and has recently embarked on a stellar path in the world of full-service restaurants, please nominate them.

You can nominate a colleague, friend, or someone you admire who is deserving of this recognition. The fields needed will include the nominee’s name, position, a brief description for why the person should be considered, and your contact information. 

We also ask for you to share the nominee's age, as of March 1, 2016, and that person's contact information—if you know those details.

Nominations will be accepted through November 15. Follow this link and fill out the form to nominate someone for FSR's "Rising Star" feature.
