The James Beard Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars of food," have announced their 2024 finalists, highlighting the best in the culinary world across the United States. Notable mentions include four Chicago restaurants and chefs, three from Dallas, and six from the Bay Area, with specific recognition for Geoff Davis of Burdell in Oakland, and Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite of EsterEv among others.

The awards ceremony, set to take place in Chicago, will celebrate these and other talents from various regions, including Arizona, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Miami, New England, where Dorchester’s Comfort Kitchen is highlighted, Central Texas, and Houston, where Tatemó and chef Emmanuel Chavez have been highlighted. Chefs Jenner Tomaska of Esmé, Sujan Sarkar of Indienne, Anna Posey of Elske, and the team at Lula Cafe were also announced as official nominees.
