Local James Beard semi-finalists

Two Little Rock chefs are semi-finalists for a James Beard award, the highest culinary honor in the industry. James Hale, the chef and owner of Acadia Restaurant, and Lee Richardson, the executive chef at Ashley's in the Capital, are both semi-finalists in the “Best Chef: South (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi)” category. Ashley's is also a nominee for Best New Restaurant. The James Beard Foundation receives some 10,000 nominations and then makes the first cut to 20 semi-finalists in 19 categories. On March 24, the foundation will announce the five finalists for each category.

Screw James Beard. Peter Brave can cook for me any day.

Besides fantastic food, I had to wait all of 5 minutes for my to go order at lunch so they brought me a glass of tea while I waited and threw in my favorite--chocolate creme brulee for free.

If only BNR were late every times...
