Twin Cities PBS series 'Relish' earns 2025 James Beard Media Award nomination Minnesota's Relish, hosted by Yia Vang, earns a James Beard nod for its heartfelt exploration of food, culture, and identity.

In all the crap this weekend I missed the news about famous Hmong chef Yia Vang winning a #JamesBeardAward for his TV Show "Relish"! So well deserved. The most delightful person you'll meet. And a reminder that this admin has blocked travel to/from Laos, harming the Hmong people indescriminately.

Congratulations to @shaneharris.bsky.social, for the #JamesBeardAward for his wonderful podcast on the high level secrets kept in Washington about BACON! Yes, bacon. We discussed in some detail in our recent interview on The Q&A Cafe. youtu.be/8PQXcYetENQ

Great acknowledgement for the film and the man who inspired it, Donn Beach. #JamesBeardAward

James Beard Award-winning chef closes Sozai in Clawson Less than a year after making headlines for winning a James Beard Award, chef Hajime Sato has closed his award-winning sustainable sushi restaurant Sozai in Clawson. Sato confirmed the closing on Instagram Sunday evening after Saturday's final service. "After an extended time of reflection, it is clear that the best thing for my family is for us to return to the Pacific Northwest," reads his statement. "It will be extremely difficult to leave Sozai behind. I put everything I had into building something special for my customers and to further my work as a sustainable seafood advocate. Thank you to everyone who has shared wonderful times with me at Sozai. I will cherish those memories. My sincerest hope is that you will continue to try new things!" The sustainable sushi chef not only earned a bevy of local "best new restaurant" accolades from the Detroit-area food media after it opened in 2011, but took home the 2024 James Beard medal for Best Chef: Great Lakes. When reached by The Detroit News Sunday evening, Sato referred to his posted statement. Sato's June win in Chicago was the first time a sushi restaurant had taken the prize in the Great Lakes category (open to chefs in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois), according to the nonprofit foundation named after the late American culinary hero James Beard. Sato is also the first chef with a Clawson restaurant to win any James Beard Award, and he's the first Michigan chef to win this category since 2011. When he won, Sato hoped that the attention would shine a light on the importance of sustainable seafood. Sozai wasn't the type of sushi restaurant to serve California rolls and eel and other things that weren't totally ethically sourced and sustainable. "It's great that I'm getting reservations, but if people are coming in here trying to eat my food and say, 'Where's the bluefin, where's the eel, where's the wagyu,' then I'm not doing my job. Nobody is," he told The Detroit News after his 2024 win. mbaetens@detroitnews.com More: Baetens: Chef Hajime Sato's James Beard award a win for Detroit and sustainability efforts This article originally appeared on The Detroit News: James Beard Award-winning chef closes Sozai in Clawson

Chefs from just one Michigan restaurant remain on the road to a 2025 James Beard Award And then there was one. Well, two, technically. Chefs Jennifer Blakeslee and Eric Patterson of the Cooks' House in Traverse City are the only representatives from Michigan's culinary and hospitality scene that are up for a James Beard Award this year. During the next phase of the national awards, they will compete against chefs in Chicago and Cincinnati for the regional Best Chef: Great Lakes award, which is open to culinary professionals in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The Cooks' House is a very small, 26-seat restaurant in Traverse City with no dress code and a high staff-to-guest ratio. The restaurant offers an a la carte menu of Michigan-centric dishes as well as 5- and 7-course tasting menus that start at $105 per person. James Beard Award-nominated chefs Blakeslee and Patterson had worked in Michelin-starred kitchens in Las Vegas before opening the Cooks' House. Ten Michigan chefs and restaurants were longlisted as semifinalists for the prestigious food award in January. Along with Blakeslee and Patterson, the semifinalist list for the Best Chef: Great Lakes category also included Javier Bardauil of Barda in Detroit; John Yelinek of Ladder 4 Wine Bar in Detroit; Ji Hye Kim of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor; and Missy Corey of Pennyroyal Cafe and Provisions in Saugatuck. Additional semifinalists who were not named as final nominees are Detroit restaurants Vecino (Best New Restaurant), Selden Standard (Outstanding Restaurant) and Baobab Fare (Outstanding Hospitality), plus Secret Bakery in Ferndale (Best Bakery) and Spencer in Ann Arbor (Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program). The chefs at Cooks' House will find out if they won the James Beard Award when the restaurant and chef honors are given out in person June 16 at a ceremony in Chicago. It is expected to be livestreamed online. The awards are determined by regional subcommittees of restaurant journalists and industry members after a period of open call from experts and the general public that is free to enter. Expect the next period of open call to start this fall for the 2026 James Beard Awards. More: Detroit’s pastry scene, Shinola’s Evening Bar get props from Food & Wine In 2024, Clawson sushi chef Hajime Sato of Sozai restaurant won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes. His win was the first time a sushi restaurant had taken this category and also marked the first time a Clawson business had won any James Beard Award. It was also the first time a Michigan chef triumphed in this category since 2011. In 2022, chef Warda Bouguettaya of Midtown's Warda Pâtisserie took home the medal for Outstanding Pastry Chef, a national award that is open to culinary professionals across the country. Other James Beard Award winners from Michigan include chef Alex Young (Best Chef Great Lakes 2011), chef Takashi Yagihashi (Best Chef Midwest 2003) and chef Jimmy Schmidt (Best Chef Midwest 1993). First given out in 1991, the James Beard Awards are considered one of the country's top culinary honors. Named after the late chef and cookbook author, the awards aim to celebrate and support those behind America's food culture. Learn more at jamesbeard.org.
