Episode Details

Chicago may have sent only one chef home with a major James Beard Award this year—Jacob Potashnick of Feld, who snagged Best Chef: Great Lakes—but the city’s culinary pulse was unmistakably felt. With national stars like New York’s Lei (Best New Restaurant) and San Francisco’s Quince (Outstanding Chef) taking center stage, Chicago’s presence was loud and proud. Bailey Sullivan of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio, a finalist in the emerging chef category, brought hometown pride to the spotlight. The glittering ceremony and raucous afterparty, loaded with gourmet bites and drinks, celebrated America’s diverse food scene—honoring both the national giants and the local legends who keep the table alive.
