George Mendes winner Best New Chefs 2011 – People

Portuguese American Chef George Mendes is among the winners of the 23rd Annual Food & Wine Best New Chefs Award, announced April 5 by Food & Wine magazine, at the Bohemian National Hall in New York City. The award recognizes chefs with a distinctive culinary style and exceptional vision.

Best New Chefs are chosen after a months-long selection process. The magazine works with restaurant critics, food writers and other trusted experts around the country to identify outstanding chefs who have been in charge of a kitchen for five years or fewer. Then the editors travel incognito to taste the food themselves.

The 2011 winners will be featured in the July issue of Food & Wine and will also attend the 29th Annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen on June 17 to 19.
