curiouskitkatt Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I always look forward to this time of year when the announcements will be made as to who will make the cut for semifinals, and I anticipate who may move onto the next round to be awarded a final nomination to be announce best of in May. Any predictions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly. Haidar is a semifinalist for the Mid-Atlantic James Beard Award this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On more credible notes ... and ... Damned happy to say I sort-of discovered them both on a national level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedE Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Wow! Kwame with Rising Star and Tom Cunanan (Bad Saint) with Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. That's a nice, if probably unexpected, haul for DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hard to believe Cindy Wolf at Charleston has been a runner up 8 times. There just aren't that many better cooks then her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
