Restaurants 2009 James Beard nominees announced
Posted by Besha Rodell @BeshaRodell on Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 3:30 PM
It's not up on the James Beard website yet, but the nominees are being announced as they happen on Twitter. The nominees for Best Chef in the Southeast are: Linton Hopkins (of our own Restaurant Eugene - yay Linton!!), Hugh Acheson (Of the Five and Ten in Athens), Mike Lata (of Fig in Charleston), Bill Smith (of Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill - I used to wait tables there! Congrats Bill), and Bob Waggoner (of the Charleston Grill).

Wow, only one Atlanta restaurant? Has Charleston really eclipsed us as the premier Southern food city? Didn't Hominy Grill win last year? I've had great meals at both Fig and Charleston Grill, but Fig's no better than Cakes and Ale (which is great, don't get me wrong) and definitely not better than Bacchinalia or The Dining Room @ The Ritz. Guess I need to try Crooks Corner so I can say I've eaten at all of this year's nominees.
