The Conference of Mayors recognizes the importance of highlighting the philanthropic side of restaurants and the role restaurants play in improving the quality of life for America's cities. Through a partnership with the National Restaurant Association and the Culinary Institute of America, we are thrilled to kick off the first annual Mayors' Culinary Cup, a new award program which recognizes restaurants who contribute to their communities by supporting mayoral programs or initiatives. The deadline is December 1, 2009. Please see the attached application for more information and how you can nominate a restaurant for the 2010 Mayors' Culinary Cup .
