Check it out. That’s Jason Stratton of Spinasse front and center on this month’s issue of Food and Wine. Yay, Jason!

Stratton found out in April he landed a spot on the publication’s Best New Chefs list for 2010. Needless to say, it’s a huge honor.

Per the mag’s website: F&W editors spend months finding them. To locate cooks who are fantastically skilled, creative and driven—and who have run a kitchen for no longer than five years—we gather recommendations from food professionals nationwide, then eat anonymously at countless restaurants.

Is this Stratton’s week or what? The cover comes days before he stars on an upcoming episode of Chef Vs. City.

In the issue you’ll find Stratton’s recipe for zucchini carpaccio with salt-broiled shrimp, as well as fun facts about the pasta pro, including his biggest influence (psst: she’s no slouch in the kitchen either).
