Minnesota Chef Nominated Again

Minnesota’s culinary scene missed out on a James Beard Award this year, but the nomination of Shigeyuki Furukawa from Kado No Mise—our lone finalist—shows just how strong our talent is. Though the win went to Missouri’s Loryn Nalic, Furukawa’s back-to-back nomination for Best Chef in the Midwest proves his excellence. Looking back, we had ten semifinalists at the start of the year, including newcomers like Joan’s in the Park and Kyle Lussier from The Pines. Even without a trophy, Minnesota’s chefs continue to shine, keeping us firmly on the national food map—and we’re already looking ahead to next year.
