The award recipients will be presented in June. The nominees were announced during a live ceremony in Nashville. “The James Beard Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and exceptional culinary talent, as well as all those doing incredible work on behalf of our communities and wider food system.
This year’s nominees, winners, and honorees are inspiring exemplars of that,” said Clare Reichenbach, CEO, James Beard Foundation. “We congratulate all those recognized today and look forward to celebrating them at another exciting Awards Weekend in Chicago this June.” We got a hint of these back in January when the foundation named its semifinalists leading up to today’s announcement.
The full list of nominees, winners, and honorees can be found here. Glad to see a community favorite was among the nominees.
