Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop, Anchorage chefs Nathan Bentley of Altura Bistro and Mike Dodge of Whisky & Ramen, and the Tutka Bay Lodge near Kachemak Bay have been named semifinalists for prestigious James Beard Awards.
The James Beard Foundation, which announced its 2026 Restaurant and Chef Award semifinalists Wednesday, is among the biggest names in the culinary and hospitality industry.
