CNN—
Un restaurant de Philadelphie avec un menu dégustation de huit plats, un restaurant haïtien dans le nord-ouest du Pacifique et un chef qui se concentre sur un menu durable d'huîtres et de légumes sauvages à Washington, D.C., ont été trois des grands gagnants des James Beard Awards 2023, largement considéré comme les Oscars du monde de la nourriture.
Les prix ont été diffusés lundi soir depuis le Lyric Opera de Chicago en direct via le site Eater. Les prix sont décernés dans la Windy City depuis 2015 et devraient y rester jusqu'en 2027.
Les co-animateurs de l'émission étaient Eric Adjepong, Esther Choi, Andrew Zimmern et Gail Simmons, qui se sont excusés en haut de l'émission pour avoir fait partie d'un ton combatif et rebutant donné par les émissions de télé-réalité sur la cuisine qui ont créé "une génération de des monstres totaux » qui sont ensuite allés dans les restaurants avec des proclamations telles que « ce beurre de rampe a besoin de plus d'acide » et ont utilisé le terme « profil de saveur ».
Mais «ce soir, il ne s'agit pas de négatif. Il s'agit de célébrer les chefs et l'industrie que nous aimons tant », a déclaré Simmons.
Comme l'année dernière, une grande partie du salon 2023 était axée sur la présentation de la nouvelle poussée pour une plus grande diversité. Cela comprenait la création d'un filet plus large géographiquement avec des gagnants comme Boise, Idaho; Madison, Wisconsin; La Ville d'Oklahoma; et la petite ville de Monson, Maine.
Gregory Gourdet de Kann, gagnant du Best New Restaurant, a déclaré : « Aujourd'hui, je suis le fils d'immigrants haïtiens, un fils de mes ancêtres et un membre d'une équipe de 45 personnes qui s'est engagée à raconter l'histoire d'Haïti et ses contributions à les arts culinaires et à la culture américaine et à la culture mondiale tous ensemble. … Nous espérons montrer l'exemple que payer les gens équitablement, avoir des équipes diversifiées et mixtes n'est pas seulement équitable mais efficace.
Sherry Pocknett de Sly Fox Den Too à Charlestown, Rhode Island, est devenue la première femme autochtone à remporter un James Beard.
De nombreux Américains d'origine asiatique ont été reconnus avec James Beards, dont Ellen Yin en tant que restauratrice exceptionnelle.
Démontrant l'influence des récompenses, le gouverneur de l'Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, et le maire de Chicago, Brandon Johnson, ont fait des apparitions lors de l'émission.
Polémique autour des récompenses
Philadelphie a passé une bonne soirée aux prix, y compris une victoire vendredi samedi dimanche pour un restaurant exceptionnel.
La Fondation James Beard à but non lucratif a été créée il y a plus de 30 ans, peu de temps après la mort du "pionnier de la gastronomie" James Beard, "pour célébrer, soutenir et élever les personnes derrière la culture alimentaire américaine".
La première cérémonie de remise des prix a eu lieu en 1991.
La Fondation James Beard a été embourbée dans la controverse au cours des dernières années.
Les prix dans de nombreuses catégories clés ont été brusquement annulés en 2020 au milieu du bouleversement pandémique de l'industrie et des problèmes d'éthique et de diversité parmi les nominés, et ils sont restés en pause en 2021 pendant les travaux de la fondation sur un nouveau cadre de récompenses.
Les prix de l'année dernière ont été les premiers décernés dans le cadre de nouvelles politiques et procédures et d'un nouveau code d'éthique déclenché par des allégations de mauvais comportement des chefs et de manque de diversité.
Cette année, le processus utilisé pour contrôler les mauvais comportements a généré sa propre controverse, un chef, Timothy Hontzas, révélant qu'il avait été disqualifié et un autre, Sam Fore,raconte au New York Timesqu'elle a fait l'objet d'une enquête mais qu'elle n'a pas été disqualifiée. Certains dans l'industrie ont critiqué le secret entourant le processus d'éthique, qui a déjà provoqué des bouleversements parmi les juges et les membres du comité des prix.
La polémique a été reconnue lors de l'émission. "Cette catégorie a apporté plus de drame qu'un concert de Mariah Carey", a déclaré l'animateur de télévision Monti Carlo avant d'annoncer le meilleur chef : Sud, catégorie. Le nom de Hontzas a été lu aux côtés de ceux des autres nominés pendant le spectacle.
La gagnante de la catégorie Sud, Natalia Vallejo, est la première native de Porto Rico à remporter un prix James Beard.
La fondation a défendu ses nouvelles procédures éthiques.
"Ce processus a été conçu pour protéger l'intégrité des prix et de sa mission, tout en étant juste envers ceux qu'il cherche à célébrer", a déclaré la fondation dans un communiqué à CNN.
« Nous soutenons ce processus, qui reflète nos valeurs et la mission globale de la Fondation : célébrer, soutenir et élever les personnes derrière la culture alimentaire américaine et défendre une norme de bonne nourriture ancrée dans le talent, l'équité et la durabilité.
En 2023, la structure du corps électoral a été modifiée,combiner les fonctions de repérage et de dégustationpour les juges.
