New York, a city to eat

The James Beard Award

Few days ago have been issued the results of the 2009 edition of the James Beard Award.
The most important award of the stars and stripes culinary world, witnessed a parade of chef and restaurants of New York that won almost all of the most prestigious awards of this edition.

Chef of the Year is Dan Barber, pioneer of the “farm-to-table” who won to the veteran Tom Colicchio from New York, Jose Andres from Washington and Paul Kahan from Chicago.

With his two restaurants, Stone Barns, located in a farm north of New York and Blue Hill, in the heart of New York, Barber made his early fortune thanks to the dishes made of season products coming from local farmers.

The bistreau Jean Georges, three stars in the Michelin guide and feather in the cap of the Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, won, instead, in the category of restaurants, while Momofuku Ko, with two Michelin stars, won the award for the best new restaurant.

Among the emerging chefs triumphed the Nate Appleman, of the A16 of San Francisco while Gina DePlama, of the Babbo of New York, won in the category of pastry chef, single woman to win a nomination except for Jennifer McLagan who with her “Fat:An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes” won the award for the best cooking book.

The James Beard Award were born in 1990 and built up their authority thanks to a jury, made of workers in the catering industry, assigning awards both for culinary professions and for media dealing with the culinary world.
