The James Beard Foundation seems to have gotten past the drama of the past year, and managed to announce its 2005 award winners. Local honorees include:
- American Express Best Chef, New York City: Andrew Carmellini, Café Boulud
- All-Clad Bakeware Outstanding Pastry Chef: Karen DeMasco, Craft
- All-Clad Cookware Outstanding Chef: Mario Batali, Babbo
- Ecolab Outstanding Wine and Spirits Professional: Joseph Bastianich, Italian Wine Merchants
- Illy Best New Restaurant: Per Se
- Waterford Oustanding Wine Service: Veritas' Wine Director, Tim Kopec
- Waterford Wedgwood Outstanding Restauranteur Award: Danny Meyer, Union Square Hospitality Group
Gothamist wants to note for the record that we did not make up the ridiculous corporate sponsorships behind each award, but we did get a chuckle out of the picture of the All-Clad-wielding Batali (oddly, much less fierce than the picture of him toting a pork product on his shoulder during Iron Chef America promos).
