James Beard Awards 2006



When I say on the podcast I am a culinary hack, I mean it. My marginal ruminations about the quality of food, varying ingredients, and inexact measurements all conspire to mark me with that dubioius label.

Case in point. While I enjoyed The Mansion, I mentioned in this post that, for the price, it didn't blow my skirt up. On the rare occasion I wear a skirt, its a mini, so it shouldn't take that much effort to blow it up.

Well, James Beard proved just what an idiot I am by nominating The Mansion in the category of best new restaurant of 2006.

But, while you're at it, check out the link above and see all the nominees. Fellow podcaster Don Genova's All You Can Eat has also been nominated. Congratulations! We are in good company.

  • Nothing like getting owned by a so called expert. Stick to your tastebuds and you will do fine.

  • Although they used to call me Tucan Sam in school, I follow both my taste and nose.

    I'd love to give it another shot on a whim, but penalties are stiff for armed robbery.

    I'll need to sell at leat one kidney, and god knows how many sperm bank donations, just to pay the French Laundry's vig.
