Slide Show: Seattle at the 2014 James Beard Awards

Renee Erickson gives pretty darn good red (or in this case, yellow) carpet. Dig the dress.

Naomi Pomeroy of Beast in Portland brought her daughter. And left with the Best Chef Northwest medal.
Mario Batali cohosted the awards ceremony. And, duh—he wore Crocs.
Jason Franey interviewed for the chef position, I wonder if the Brothers Canlis made him run through a few sample GQ poses, since saucy photos are a big part of life at Canlis.
Hey, look, it's Thierry Rauturau. He took home the Best Chef Northwest award in 1998.
No time for selfies over here. Cafe Juanita chef Holly Smith (a 2008 James Beard Award winner) was busting her butt as one of the chefs serving food at the event.
Blaine Wetzel's mom and dad flew to New York to watch him receive the Rising Star Chef of the Year award. No, that is not his mother.
Much like prom, the after party is where all the good/sloppy stuff happens. This night of mayhem was courtesy of Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad, which won Outstanding Bar Program this year.
Then a little more festive.
What the frick? How does Naomi Pomeroy still look so polished and stylish and not sweaty or shiny at the end of the night?
Then got a little festive.
Whale Wins chef Marie Rutherford can seriously rock a lady tuxedo.
Things started off on a classy note.
Joshua Henderson and designer Matthew Parker. I mean, if there were ever a time to take a selfie, this is probably it.
