Here Are Los Angeles’s 2025 James Beard Award Finalists | Eater LA
"Chef Tobin Shea of this Los Angeles restaurant was named a finalist in the 2025 James Beard Awards' restaurant and chef categories; the finalists were announced on April 2 and winners will be revealed on June 16 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The awards — often called "the Oscars of food" — added Best New Bar, Outstanding Professional in Beverage Service, and Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service to the roster this year and have implemented process changes after canceling programming in 2020 and 2021 due to misconduct and diversity-related criticisms." - Rebecca Roland
