At its annual gala, the Minnesota Restaurant Association inducted Wayne Kostroski of Cuisine Concepts and Franklin Street Bakery into the Minnesota Hospitality Hall of Fame. The criteria for the Hall of Fame award is “a restaurant operator with more than 20 years of experience and deemed a legend in the industry.” Kostroski is indeed a legend, but not only in the Twin Cities culinary community. He is notorious around the country for his philanthropic efforts towards hunger relief issues.
