• Have your brand linked with the industry’s best. For 2008, Foodservice News published the Top 25 Chefs in Minnesota book, containing biographies and recipes from the chefs, and in December 2009 FSN published its Top Corporate Chefs book. The books were bundled with the respective December issues of Foodservice News, and distributed at 20 industry shows and events through 2009 and 2010. Sponsor logos and company descriptions were published in the book, and platinum sponsors had their logos embossed on the plaque each chef received for the honor. Further, each sponsor logo will be listed on the Foodservice News Web site for one year.
