StarChefs.com is thrilled to see so many familiar names on this year’s scroll of James Beard Award nominees. Among the 2015 finalists are 32 former Rising Stars from across the country. We're privileged to have tasted with all of you over the years and our collective heart swells when we see so many of you receive this well-deserved recognition. We know all the hard work, blood, sweat, and sacrifice that goes into being included in such an elite group. We’re so proud to be along for the ride, having tasted with some you (Wylie Dufresne, Marco Canora, Nicole Krasinski, Michael Cimarusti, Paul Virant) many moons ago. Good luck to everyone, and see you at the big show!
