James Beard 2010 Nominees

Seeing as how there is a third part to this blog, I figure that it would be beneficial, and less misleading if there was a post about food somewhere. So with that in mind, I thought it might be relevant for those in Chicago to know that a number of people in the local restaurant industry have been nominated for James Beard awards. Follow the link to the full list of nominations, but here is the local nitty gritty:
