The recent James Beard Awards recognized the talent of Filipino chefs and culinary authors based in the United States. Erwan Heussaff, a renowned blogger turned content creator, won the Social Media Account category. Heussaff uses his platform to raise awareness on important matters such as regional cuisine, heritage preservation, and tourism. Tim Flores and Genie Kwon, the spouses behind the world’s first Michelin-star Filipino restaurant, Kasama, won the Best Chef: Great Lakes award. Kasama’s menu infuses traditional Filipino cooking with contemporary twists that received critical acclaim. Margarita Lorenzana-Manzke, a Filipina pastry chef and baker based in Los Angeles, clinched the Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker award. Manzke’s creations can be tried in the Philippines as she also co-owns Wildflour. The James Beard Foundation’s recognition of these talented Filipino chefs is a great boost for Filipino cuisine, and we congratulate all the winners and finalists.
