The Full List of James Beard Awards 2026 Restaurant Chef Winners

The James Beard Foundation will announce the remaining winners of the 2026 James Beard Awards during its annual ceremony in Chicago on Monday, June 15. These honors are regarded as some of the most prestigious accolades for chefs and restaurateurs across the United States. However, Minnesota experienced a shut out at the awards, as the state's only representative, Shigeyuki Furukawa of Kado no Mise, who was nominated for the second consecutive year, did not win.
