It's never a shock when New York makes a strong showing at the annual James Beard Awards ("the Oscars of food") but this year's turnout is especially impressive. Announced this morning, the list of final nominees for the 2015 awards include NYC newcomers like Batard and Cosme—both of which deservedly had spots on our own 100 Best Dishes list this year—and bone-broth mastermind Marco Canora (Hearth), up for Best Chef in New York City.
