Steven McHugh of Cured and Esaul Ramos Jr. of 2M Smokehouse are among area semifinalists in the best Texas chef category.
Chef Diego Galicia’s restaurant Mixtli received a James Beard Award nomination for Outstanding Restaurant.Mixtli, the progressive Mexican restaurant that has earned its founder-chefs national recognition for years, has added two new accolades to its collection: James Beard Award nominations for Outstanding Restaurant and Outstanding Pastry Chef for Sofia Tejeda.by the James Beard Foundation after a two-year hiatus.
McHugh has been a semifinalist in the Best Chef: Southwest category each year from 2016 to 2019 and again in 2020 when Texas got its own Best Chef category. 2M Smokehouse’s Ramos was also a semifinalist in 2020. That year, the foundation chose not to hold its final awards ceremony because of the pandemic, and it canceled the event in 2021 altogether.
Mixtli chef and co-founder Diego Galicia called the nomination a “huge honor” and a validation of the work he and partner Rico Torres did to take care of their staff through the pandemic. “Our menu is a symphony,” he continued, “and dessert is the last note. That last part of the concert is the loudest, the fireworks, and that’s Sofia.”
