A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

CHEF, HOW DO YOU MAKE A WOMAN LIKE YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER GUY? We discussed the James Beard Foundation Award nominees; tonight, the winners were named. Chicago's Grant Achatz of Alinea is, quite understandably, your Chef of the Year, with Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich your outstanding Restaurateurs. NYC's Gramercy Tavern is Restaurant of the Year, and Anchor Brewery Company owner (and Maytag Dairy Farms chairman) Fritz Maytagthe lifetime award for outstanding achievements in fermentation.

Philadelphia's chefs were shut out, as was ALOTT5MA Fave Mark Bittman. The remaining cook/restaurant/book and newspaper/radio/tv/etc (PDF) awards are linked, including one for Barbara Kingsolver for Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life.
