The semifinalists for the 2024 James Beard Foundation Awards have officially been revealed, with many of the country’s top restaurant industry professionals getting lots of love.
From Best New Restaurant nominees like Dakar NOLA, Foul Witch in New York, and My Loup in Philadelphia to pioneers like Lula Café in Chicago (Outstanding Hospitality), Pineapple & Pearls in D.C. (Outstanding Restaurant), and Jeremy Fox of Birdie G’s in Los Angeles (Outstanding Chef), this year’s class reflects some of the best that the industry has to offer.
And it’s always a great snapshot of restaurants right now. The prestigious list of multi-category award nominees is exhausting. Being lazy, we’re offering only the Best Chef list from California restaurants.
