LA’s Suzanne Goin Wins Top Honor at the James Beard Awards
L.A.’s own Suzanne Goin won the top honor—Outstanding Chef—on Tuesday night at the 2016 James Beard Foundation Awards at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Goin, who owns highly feted and popular spots including Lucques, a.o.c. and Tavern and The Larder at Burton Way, which she runs with business partner Caroline Styne, as well as The Hungry Cat, which she operates with husband David Lentz, is only the fifth female to win the top honor since the foundation established its top-notch awards for chefs, food writers and restaurants in 1990.
This is her ninth nomination for Outstanding Chef of the Year, a well-deserved accolade for the seasonal, European-inspired dishes she serves at Lucques in West Hollywood, which she first opened in 1998.
In addition to Goin’s outstanding win, Osteria Mozza‘s Dahlia Narvaez took home the Oustanding Pastry Chef award, while Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Animal were Best: Chef West winners.
