2017 James Beard Foundation Awards – Restaurant and Chef Semifinalists Announced

February 15, 2017 by Chi@glance

2017 James Beard Foundation Awards – Restaurant and Chef Semifinalists Announced – 2/15/2017

NEW YORK, NY (February 15, 2017) – The James Beard Foundation announced today its list of Restaurant and Chef Award semifinalists for the 27th annual James Beard Foundation Awards. Selected from a list of over 24,000 online entries, the prestigious group of semifinalists in 21 categories represents a wide range of culinary talent, from exceptional chefs and dining destinations in ten different regions across the U.S., to the nation’s top wine and spirits professionals, best new restaurants, rising star chefs, pastry chefs, and bakers. See this year’s full semifinalist list at the end of this press release or online at jamesbeard.org/awards

On Wednesday, March 15, 2017, the Foundation will announce the final nominees for all award categories during a press conference at a.o.c. restaurant in Los Angeles, California. Nominations will also be announced live via the Foundation’s Facebook Live video feed at facebook.com/beardfoundation and in real time on Twitter at twitter.com/beardfoundation.

Winners of the 2017 James Beard Media Awards will be announced on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, at an exclusive event honoring the nation’s top cookbook authors, culinary broadcast producers and hosts, and food journalists at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York City.

Winners of the remaining awards will be announced at the James Beard Foundation Awards Gala at the Lyric Opera of Chicago on Monday, May 1, 2017. During the event, which is open to the public, awards for the Restaurant and Chef and Restaurant Design categories will be handed out, along with special achievement awards Humanitarian of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Design Icon, Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America, and America’s Classics. A gala reception will immediately follow, featuring top chefs and beverage professionals from across the country.

How the Restaurant and Chef Awards Work

The James Beard Foundation holds an online open call for entries beginning in mid-October of each year. This year, over 24,000 entries were received, a list which the Restaurant and Chef Committee reviews to determine eligibility and regional representation. Based on the results and eligibility requirements for each award, the committee then produces a nominating ballot that lists the semifinalists in each of the 21 Restaurant and Chef Award categories, some of which include Outstanding Chef, Outstanding Restaurant, Best Chef in ten different U.S. regions, Outstanding Service, Outstanding Bar Program, and Best New Restaurant.

The list of semifinalists is then sent to an independent volunteer panel of more than 600 judges from across the country. This panel, which comprises leading regional restaurant critics, food and wine editors, culinary educators, and past James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Award winners, votes on specific award categories to determine the final five nominees in each category. The same judges then vote on these five nominees to select the winners. Tabulations to determine the nominees and winners are done by independent auditors, Lutz & Carr. The governing Awards Committee, board of trustees, and staff of the James Beard Foundation do not vote, and the results are kept confidential until the presentation of winners in May. Awards policies and procedures can be reviewed on the James Beard site at jamesbeard.org/awards/policies.

Established in 1990, the James Beard Awards recognize culinary professionals for excellence and achievement in their fields and furthers the Foundation’s mission to celebrate, nurture, and honor chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable for everyone. Each award category has an individual committee made up of industry professionals who volunteer their time to oversee the policies, procedures, and selection of judges for their respective Awards program. All JBF Award winners receive a certificate and a medallion engraved with the James Beard Foundation Awards insignia. There are no cash prizes.

The 2017 James Beard Foundation Awards are proudly hosted by Choose Chicago and the Illinois Restaurant Association and presented in association with the Chicago Department of Aviation, HMSHost, Illinois Office of Tourism, and Mariano’s as well as the following partners: Premier Sponsors: All-Clad Metalcrafters, American Airlines, S.Pellegrino® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, True Refrigeration®; Supporting Sponsors: Breville®, Lavazza, Robert Mondavi Winery, Skuna Bay Salmon, Valrhona; Gala Reception Sponsors: Ecolab, Kendall College, Windstar Cruises; with additional support from: Chefwear, VerTerra Dinnerware.

The signature Italian steakhouse is crafted by renowned celebrity chef @FabioViviani.

𝑨𝒍𝒕𝒐’𝒔 dining experience blends panoramic views, premium steaks, and modern Italian cuisine with bold flavors. The restaurant is perched atop the 17th floor of the casino and marks a significant milestone in @wcsouthland evolution as a premier destination for world-class gaming, exceptional wellness offerings and unparalleled dining experiences.

Besides a delicious curated lunch we got to hear culinary storytelling from Chef Viviani himself… AND you know I had to ask him a few questions…. Head over to @chiataglance YouTube channel for those answers. 😉

The world’s most influential showcase of food se The world’s most influential showcase of food service innovation is May 17th - May 20th. The @Nationalrestaurantshow (NRA) draws tens of thousands of professionals from every facet of the foodservice and hospitality sector. There’s over 700,000 SF of exhibit space and 2,200 exhibitors. I’ve been covering this show for seven years and I always leave learning something new. 🤓

My highlights from this weekend are:

I’m ready to host my next dinner party! 🍽️ I’m ready to host my next dinner party! 🍽️ I was invited to an exclusive culinary experience @Blueplatechicago that inspired my home entertaining skills. 👩🏽‍🍳 

The evening featured exceptional flavors of Prosciutto di Parma and Grana Padano. Experts led a live demonstration and showed us the art behind these exquisite delicacies.

We indulged in a curated dining experience crafted by Executive Chef Charles Haracz. I would say my favorite highlights were the flatbread, salmon wrapped in prosciutto, and the prosciutto bits in the icecream. I LOVE unique dining experiences! I’ll have to put my hosting skills to the test soon. You in? 🫣

NOT SPONSORED… just completely blown away by Che NOT SPONSORED… just completely blown away by Chef @Sebastians.Kitchen meal prep service. The food was AMAZING but those sauces… 😋😋😋😋 The ingredients were fresh and you could tell everything was homemade. I was asked what I wanted to eat but I’m so glad I told him to plan it all. All you gotta do is heat it up and eat. Loved it!!!!
