Enter nomination to win: Who is making NJ better everyday?

The meals you remember, the celebrations you share, the late nights when you just needed a great bite — someone made all of it. This May, we're honoring the restaurant workers who feed New Jersey with their own hands, one plate at a time.

May Spotlight: Restaurant Workers

Before the doors open, before the first customer sits down, before anyone else shows up — restaurant workers are already there. They work in the heat of the kitchen, on their feet for hours, through holidays and weekends, doing jobs most people never think about until the food hits the table.

That's why New Jersey 101.5 is shining the spotlight on restaurant workers this May. Whether they're prepping ingredients before sunrise, plating dishes during a Friday night rush, or making sure every guest leaves with a smile — we want to hear their story.

Each week, we'll select one story to feature on-air during Feel Good Friday.

Better Everyday is brought to you by Alliance Orthopedic — Better Everyday.
