Eater Young Guns is upon us, where we identify up-and-comers in the restaurant world, whether they work the line, the bar or the floor.
So far we have 850 names - but we want more.
The criteria: nominees must be under 30 and must be in the employ in the hospitality industry in the United States or Canada. Most importantly, they must show extraordinary promise.
So, do you admire a super somm, ambitious restaurateur or plucky chef? Tell us all about it here.
Then, we will convene the Young Guns committee with industry titans in markets across the country. And in the name of transparency, the entire process, from soup to nuts, will be in full view in this space. In June, we will unfurl and fête the 2014 class at a gala event.
Do you know a potential Eater Young Gun? Nominate her/him here or make your case at youngguns@eater.com.
