Welcome to Foodservice News and the Charlie Awards. The FSN Newsletter is emailed twice a month, highlighting top stories and industry news and events, along with information to help grow your business. Foodservice News educates and elevates with its digital coverage of the Upper Midwest foodservice industry. We focus on the professionals in foodservice—from restaurant owners, managers and chefs; to school, office, healthcare and retirement center foodservice managers; to the suppliers and vendors who market their products and services. We examine trends, issues and the people who shape this important business segment. The Charlie Awards is an annual event that celebrates the exceptional contributions of the Twin Cities-area restaurant, food and beverage industry. Since the outset of COVID-19, the Charlies has been on hold until we feel it is appropriate and safe to again host the awards. As a sister brand to Foodservice News however, we will continue to create digital Charlies content and cover the amazing restaurants, chefs, and staff that make our local restaurant community what it is.
