The new Best Chef categories will go into effect for the 2020 awards
The James Beard Foundation has announced some changes for its Best Chef categories that will go into effect for the 2020 James Beard Awards. Next year’s awards will feature a Best Chef: California and a Best Chef: Texas. In a press release, the Foundation says the changes were made “to recognize changing population data, restaurant demographics, and culinary trends.”by the Awards despite being home to multiple food hubs like Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Other shuffles: The newly dubbed “Mountain” category will comprise Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; the Southwest category will comprise Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Nevada; Best Chef: New York City is gone, and instead there will be a Best Chef: New York State, so good luck to anyone not from the five boroughs there. Remaining unshuffled is the Great Lakes category, so there’s still a chance that for yet another year Chicago will sweep that region entirely.
Per the press release: “Changes to both the subcommittee that oversees the Restaurant and Chef awards, which has seats assigned to each region, and the voting body of judges have been made accordingly.” There will also be an additional America’s Classics honoree, upping the total from five honorees to six.
Whether these changes will ultimately address key issues that have plagued restaurant awards broadly, like a lack of representation of women, chefs of color, and chefs working outside the fine-dining sphere remains to be seen.
