The semifinalists for the 2014 JBF Awards will be announced on Wednesday by the James Beard Foundation.
What Maine chefs and restaurants would you like to see on the list?
For reference take a look at the semifinals lists from 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Mike Wiley and Andrew Taylor @ Hugo’s
Demos Regas @ Emilitsa
Mike and Andrew from Hugo’s/Eventide..
Melissa Kelly from Primo..
Sam Hayward from Fore Street
wild cards:
chef at Long Grain
Masa Miyake
Ditto on Masa.
Add Fred Eliot at PJ’s to the list too.
Have to jump on the Mike and Andrew bandwagon.
If Masa doesn’t at least garner a nomination it really diminishes the award.
My wildcard would be Cara Stadler of Tao Yuan.
