« Two Chapel Hill Chefs in the Semifinals for James Beard Awards »
Friday, March 5, 2010 at 11:39AMTwo mainstays of West Franklin Street are up for a big honor, one that's been called the Oscars of the food world.
Andrea Reusing of Lantern and Bill Smith of Crook's Corner are semifinalists for the James Beard Awards Best Chef of the Southeast, along with Ashley Christensen of Poole's in Raleigh and Scott Howell of Nana's in Durham. Crook's Corner is also up for Outstanding Restaurant, as is Durham's Magnolia Grill.

The nominees were chosen from a list of 21,000. The five finalists for each category will be unveiled March 22, and the winners will be announced May 3.
Our January/February issue features an article about where respected foodies like to eat. One of the more memorable comments came from Jamil Kadoura, owner and chef at Mediterranean Deli. Kadoura said Crook's Corner's shrimp and grits were the best he'd ever had. "They should call it Bill and Smith after Chef Bill Smith," he said. "I swear to God."
How's that for an endorsement? Good luck to our chefs!
