Philly's own Jose Garces just won Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic honors at the annual James Beard Foundation awards, going down in NYC right now. Aside from being an Iron Chef America winner, Garces runs Amada, Tinto, Distrito and Chifa here in Philly and Mercat a la Planxa in his hometown of Chicago.
It was Garces' third consecutive nom; he beat out Cathal Armstrong of Alexandria's Restaurant Eve, Peter Pastan of D.C.'s Obelisk, Maricecl Presilla of Hoboken's Cucharamama and Vikram Sunderam of D.C.'s Rasika. The news came to us via JBF's Twitter page. (For more real-time awards Tweeting, check out the pages of The Food Section, Slashfood and Serious Eats.)
