Food & Wine Asks Readers to Weigh In On Best New Chef
Three Seattle chefs count themselves among the 10 Northwest finalists for the People’s chef.
F&W has added a category to its annual Best New Chefs competition: the People’s Chef. Readers will vote from nominees hailing from 10 US regions.
Three Seattle chefs (well four, I guess) are among the Northwest contenders. They are: Jason Franey (Canlis), Brian McCracken and Dana Tough (Spur), and Shaun McCrain (Book Bindery).
Blaine Wetzel, the Lummi Island chef with the famous Noma pedigree, is also a contender.
The other contenders hail from Portland (Ben Bettinger, Chris DiMinno, Gregory Gourdet, Jenn Louis, and Jake Martin), and Depoe Bay, Oregon (Justin Wills).
You have until March 1 to vote for your favorite.
