Food & Wine Magazine Nominates Nostrano Chef, Tim Dahl, To Compete For The Title Of The People's Best New Chef Award 2012

Nostrano's Tim Dahl had been nominated for FOOD & WINE Magazine's prestigious People's Best New Chef Award. The award, an extension of the FOOD & WINE Best New Chefs program, honors talented up-and-coming innovators who have run their own kitchens for five years or fewer. The dining public will determine The People's Best New Chef winner via online vote on foodandwine.com/peoples-best-new-chef/midwest, beginning today and continuing through March 11.

The field of 100 nominees for The People's Best New Chef award includes 10 chefs in each of 10 regions across America. The chefs with the most votes in each of the regions will be named finalists. Of those 10 finalists, the one with the most votes overall will be named The People's Best New Chef. The People's Best New Chef finalists and winner will be revealed on March 12; the winner will also be featured in July 2012 issue of FOOD & WINE, the same issue that profiles the Best New Chefs.

"After last year's successful debut, we're thrilled to again give the dining public a chance to help their favorite chef become The People's Best New Chef," says FOOD & WINE Editor-in-Chief Dana Cowin.
