FIRST COURSE
Breakout Chefs of 2012

It is award season in the culinary industry! Voting on for The People's Best New Chef on Food & Wine's website began on March 5th and The James Beard Foundation's annual award finalists will be named on March 19th. Unfortunately, not all of us have the opportunity to travel the country wining and dining in the top rated restaurants in the country so Joonbug compiled a list of the nation's new and noteworthy chefs that are up for Best New Chef awards this year. Some of this year’s nominees may be cooking in your area!
