Each year the James Beard Awards endeavor to recognize the talent and achievement of exceptional culinary artists. Among this year’s prestigious nominees, is Ashland chef and owner of MÄS, Joshua Dorcak.
House-cured meat and handmade pasta, a three-course American menu where French techniques shine and a seasonally inspired eight-course tasting menu are among the offerings from the nominees for one of the culinary world’s highest honors — the James Beard Awards.
A list of finalists for the prestigious awards, which debuted a new Outstanding Bakery category this year, will be released in March, followed by a June 5 announcement for the award winners.
The semifinalists for the 2023 James Beard Awards were announced this morning, with a number of Oregon-based restaurants and chefs among the nominees in categories including best new restaurant and best chef: Northwest and Pacific.
