A consolation prize for no Restaurant and Chef awards doled out this year: a pretty nice-looking meal to make at home

The James Beard Awards were not their usual selves this year. There was no Chicago gala, for one, and months after that announcement, thehanding out its Restaurant and Chef awards altogether. Instead, the James Beard Foundation held a Twitter broadcast to honor awards winners outside the main chef and restaurant categories, like the Leadership Awards, America’s Classics awards, Design Icon, and the Humanitarian Award.
The chef and restaurant awards nominees presumably watched from home with no expectations for a win. But, they did get some acknowledgment from the foundation — each nominee received a gift bag and what was essentially a James Beard Award-approved meal kit. But this wasn’t Blue Apron. According to images posted by nominees to Instagram, the three-course meal included recipes for a cream of cauliflower soup with grilled shrimp and a blackened salmon with corn succotash, both from Best Chef: Great Lakes nominee chef Erick Williams, of Virtue in Chicago, complete with a page each of instructions.
It looks pretty good! Of course, unlike the home cooks of many a Blue Apron box, the professional chefs that make up a number of these meal kit recipients have the skills to do it justice.
