The nomination voting is open; register, sign in, and vote here.

Also as you can see, things should be a little more exciting now that they have seperated some of the states into a new category under "The Great Lakes". Now that Chicago is out of the way...maybe Kansas City will have an opportunity :raz:

For some reason I can't find the deadline for the nominations :hmmm:

I bet they will still find a way to award someone from NYC the Best Chef Midwest award!

LOL! Yes, they're working on that as we speak! :biggrin:

As if this current (and thankfully soon ending) election cycle isn't enough to wear a man down...

... best of luck to all the eligible candidates!! :smile:

You definitely got my vote! Avenues was stunning in every possible way! I felt "at home" more than I have ever felt in a restaurant. Never had better service anywhere. I truly felt like an honored guest-for a restaurant to be able to make people feel that way says something about the people who run it. My dad has his autographed menu framed!

If opening more restaurants is a future goal for you, I wholeheartedly encourage you. Not to impugn(sp) another chef, but I see Michael Mina opening restaurants and, having been to four of his restaurants, I can easily say that, imho, your food is better.

This is great - it was high time they split Chicago out from the rest of the midwest. I may be slightly biased but I think KC has two very worthy contenders in Celina Tio and Colby Garrelts. May the best chef win (as long as he/she is from here :laugh:)!

I heartily echo moosnsqrl's comments. Congrats to both of our KC chef nominees. It would be great for one of you to bring James Beard back to Kansas City this year - and the other one to follow up next year!

I'm still betting they find a way to give the midwest awards to New Yorkers.

Do we need a new forum for midwestern conspiracy theorists? I didn't realize we were such a suspicious lot. :rolleyes:
