City House Chef Named A Semifinalist For 2010 James Beard Foundation Awards

2/18/2010

Tandy Wilson, owner and chef of City House, was announced as a semifinalist for the 2010 James Beard Foundation Awards today. Wilson is being considered for an award in the “Best Chef: Southeast” category.

The James Beard Foundation Awards is widely considered the nation’s most prestigious recognition program for professionals in the food and beverage industry. Semifinalists are selected from thousands of online nominations that are narrowed down to a group of the premier restaurants and chefs across the country.

“I’m humbled to be in the company of this impressive list of chefs and restaurants,” Wilson said. “I’m proud that City House and Nashville are being recognized at a national level.” Wilson was a James Beard Foundation Awards semifinalist in the same category for 2009.

Wilson and City House, which is located in Nashville’s historic Germantown, are listed along with 19 other Southeastern chefs and restaurants as semi-finalists for the “Best Chef” award. Tyler Brown, executive chef of Nashville’s Capitol Grille at the Hermitage Hotel, is also a semifinalist.

Final nominees will be announced March 22 in New Orleans, with winners announced and honored at an awards gala on May 3 in New York City. The list of final nominees will include five finalists in each award category, narrowed down from the list of semifinalists by a panel of more than 400 judges.
