The James Beard Foundation is currently live tweeting their 2011 nominations, and the best chefs of the Southeast nominations just went up. The nominees are: Hugh Acheson, Craig Deihl, John Fleer, Linton Hopkins, Edward Lee, and Andrea Reusing. Congrats to Hugh and Linton, and also Andrea Reusing who I have always admired.

In other Beard news, Atlanta Magazine's Bill Addison (our former Food Editor) was nominated in the journalism awards in the food culture and travel category. Yay Bill!!
