Dobitnici nagrade James Beard 2023

Drugu godinu zaredom od ponovnog pokretanja nakon dvogodišnje pauze, dodjele James Beard Awards, svjetskih Oskara u kulinarstvu, bacile su žarko svjetlo na kuhare, barmene i restorane koji američku gastronomsku scenu čine izuzetnom. Nagrade, koje su prvi put dodijeljene 1991. godine, imaju za cilj da “podignu standard dobre hrane usidrene u talentu, pravednosti i održivosti”, što je kamen temelj misije James Beard fondacije.

Nazvane po legendarnom kuharu, autoru kuharica i televizijskoj ličnosti Jamesu Beardu, nagrade su postale željena priznanja koja mogu definirati naslijeđe pojedinca ili restorana. U posljednje dvije godine, fondacija je nastojala osigurati da nagrade nagrađuju sveobuhvatniji niz pojedinaca i da postanu vodeći glas u borbi za različitost, inkluziju, nejednakost i diskriminaciju u industriji.

Na ovogodišnjoj ceremoniji dodele nagrada održanoj u Lyric Opera u Čikagu, veliki broj ukusa i pojedinaca čuli su svoja imena kako sa bine prozivaju slavni kuvari i suvoditelji Andrew Zimmerman, Gail Simmons, Esther Choi i Eric Adjepong. Tradicionalni južnoamerički tematski restoran iz Čikaga, haićanski restoran na severozapadu Pacifika i portorikanski restoran sa ostrva su osvojili nagrade.

Došli su do vrha nakon iscrpnog procesa traženja u kojem je 240 sudija prolazilo kroz sve nominirane kako bi postavili listu finalista. Od trideset dobitnika ove godine, preko 80% njih su ljudi u boji koji dodiruju svaki kutak Sjedinjenih Država. Ako ste u potrazi za nezaboravnim obrokom, pregledajte donju listu i rezervišite odmah, njihove liste čekanja će biti još duže nakon njihove nedavne posebne noći.
