This week brought us the James Beard Awards, and it was a pretty dismal year for Seattle.

Tom Douglas, the Canlis family, Ethan Stowell, and Matt Dillon were all up for awards but didn’t win. Our one victor was quite a worthy one, however. Farestart was awarded Humanitarian of the Year.

And despite the disappointments, there was much #JBFA-related entertainment to be enjoyed on Twitter.

Coming in at number 5 is the adorable Iberian José Andrés. He walked away with this year’s Outstanding Chef award, an awesome honor. His tweeting skills, however, could use some sharpening.

Twitter lit up with accolades for the DC-based chef after his award was announced, and Andrés retweeted them all. For this breach of Twitter etiquette, he received many virtual spanks. But it wasn’t until after Andrés retweeted the following, from someone called Web Barr, that he realized his mistake. An apology followed.

Now that @chefjoseandres has won the James Beard Award for Excellence, can we anoint him King of @Humblebrag? #lotsofretweets

4. Seattlest’s Lorraine Goldberg, responding to the announcement that Best Chef Northwest was Portland’s Andy Ricker—and not, as we’d all assumed it would be, Ethan Stowell—tweeted:

Portland-1 Seattle-0. Bummer

3. The ever-mysterious Ruth Bourdain had some funny things to say about the Beard awards (and won one!), but this is our favorite tweet of hers this week.

I hate the way men look at me when I walk down the street eating a geoduck clam.

Okay, that wasn’t a James Beard tweet at all. Hmm. Moving on.

2. Revel and Joule chef Rachel Yang cooked at the James Beard Awards this year and received high praise from the always lovely Marcus Samuelsson.

1. But the best James Beard Award tweet by far came from The Feast New York, who snapped the photo you see above, with the following caption.

Our sentiments exactly.

Better luck next year, Seattle chefs! And happy weekend.
