The force behind the acclaimed Manhattan eatery Root & Bone, Sunny Side Up Hospitality CEO and chef Jeff Mcinnis currently oversees operations at seven different restaurants in multiple US states, as well as Puerto Rico. Among his other accolades as a chef, Jeff Mcinnis has earned two James Beard Foundation awards.
Originally established in 1986, the James Beard Foundation transformed the home of legendary chef and educator James Beard into a center for the culinary arts. Just 4 years later, the foundation established the James Beard Foundation Awards to recognize culinary excellence in multiple forms.
The James Beard Foundation Awards quickly earned a reputation as one of the highest honors that professionals in food and beverage related industries can receive. Although the idea of the celebrity chef is now culturally ubiquitous, the James Beard Awards shine a spotlight on exceptional cooks who might otherwise go unrecognized.
Today’s James Beard Foundation Awards celebrate work in dozens of categories ranging from Outstanding Restaurant and Outstanding Restaurateur to Outstanding Pastry Chef and Outstanding Bar Program. They also grant numerous regional Best Chef awards.
