Description
Two St. Louis chefs are finalists for James Beard awards. The recognition represents a milestone in two very different journeys: Vicia’s Jane Sacro Chatham, nominated for Emerging Chef, immigrated to St. Louis from the Philippines 17 years ago. Meanwhile, Balkan Treat Box's Loryn Nalic, nominated for Best Midwest Chef, started out working in a food truck. Chatham and Nalic discuss the significance of the award and their work at two of St. Louis’ top restaurants.
