Atlanta chefs snubbed for James Beard award
We should've won, let's demand a recount. The 2024 James Beard Awards have ended, with no winners from Atlanta, Georgia, or any other major food and restaurant in the world. Parnass Savang and Rod Lassiter of Summerhill restaurant Talat Market, who were previously semi-finalists in the Rising Star Chef of the Year category, made it to the finalist round. This is their first time they have been finalists. Savang credits his 13-year career to the James Beard Award. Last year, Terry Koval of Decatur's The Deer and the Dove won the same category.

The 2024 James Beard Awards are over, and none of the winners are from Atlanta. Why it matters: The James Beard Awards are considered the Oscars of the food and restaurant world.
Catch up quick: Atlanta had several semi-finalists this year, but Parnass Savang and Rod Lassiter of Summerhill restaurant Talat Market made it to the finalist round.
• Savang was previously a 2018 Beard semi-finalist in the Rising Star Chef of the Year category, but this is the duo's first time as Beard finalists.
What they're saying: Savang told Axios prior to the awards show that being a James Beard finalist is the accumulation of 13 years of his cooking career.
Flashback: Last year, Terry Koval of Decatur's The Deer and the Dove took home the James Beard Award in the same category.
