Fête Rouge is a little more than two months away. The Baton Rouge Epicurean Society is asking the public to help them out in acknowledging the best of the best in the service industry.

The nonprofit organization that hosts Fête Rouge and CrawFête is taking nominations for its Service Industry Award. The award will go to someone within the greater Baton Rouge area who has worked in the industry for at least 10 years and has dedicated his or her life to hard work.

The recipient of the award will be honored at a luncheon at Gino’s Restaurant. He or she will also receive a ticket for themselves and one guest to the Grace ‘Mama’ Marino Lifetime Achievement Awards Dinner Thursday, Aug. 27, at L’Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge.
