Congratulations to the 2024 Restaurant & Chef winners, honorees, and nominees! The James Beard Foundation Awards weekend did not disappoint. The energy, diversity, and joy was incredible. It felt good to be surrounded by so much talent across the food and hospitality industry, and amongst the many individuals striving for an equitable and sustainable food industry. Year 3 as a judge and the momentum gets better and better!

Kudos to Chef Christina Nguyen of Hai Hai for winning Best Chef: Midwest!

S/O to our 2024 committee chair Liz Cook for your hard work & leadership this cycle!

Stay tuned for the after party and meetup recaps! 💃🏾
