People love awards, even if their reputation has been tarnished, as the James Beard Awards were in 2004 when the James Beard Foundation was found to be in the midst of a dirty financial scandal, with missing money and a tax bill that hadn't been paid for two years. The latest crop of nominees for the 2008 James Beard Awards included only a few Dallas citations:

  • Fearing's for Best New Restaurant
  • Sharon Hage of York Street for Best Chef: Southwest
  • La Condesa for Outstanding Restaurant Graphics (seriously? They JUST opened.)

Some limited Dallas connection comes via Top Chef Season 3, nominated for Best TV Show; that's the season that starred Casey Thompson of Shinsei and Tre Wilcox, formerly of Abacus; Top Chef competes against the great The Best Recipes in the World with Mark Bittman and Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie.

Robb Walsh of the Houston Press was nominated for "Guess Who's Making Your Dinner".

The James Beard Awards are granting a "Best TV Show" prize, and "Top Chef" was nominated?

I doubt whether James Beard could do much rolling over while alive, but he definitely is spinning in his grave right now.

Did Ginsu knives get the nod for best culinary invention, or did that go to the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie this year?

What about Duni Borga for Pastry Chef? La Duni?

Dunia Borga was on the short list for a possible nomination (which circulated on the Internet weeks ago), but didn't make the cut.
