10 Of America's Most Promising Culinary Talents To Square Off In Under 30 Food Festival
For the second year in a row, the FORBES Under 30 Summit will feature a cook-off between the country’s most promising chefs. Last year’s winner, Recette’s Jesse Schenker, is coming back to defend his title, but he faces some stiff competition. Take, for instance, La Marina’s Kelvin Fernandez (30 Under 30 Class of 2015): he just beat Bobby Flay on ‘Beat Bobby Flay.’ Or Chef Joseph ‘JJ’ Johnson (30 Under 30 Class of 2014), who was a 2015 James Beard Award semi-finalist in the “Rising Star of the Year” category.
Here’s a look at the full line-up of chefs squaring off in the Under 30 Food Festival:
Christopher Coombs: A member of the 30 Under 30 Class of 2012, Coombs is the owner of three restaurants in Boston: Deuxave, Boston Chops and dbar. Coombs has been lauded for his “daring plates,” and Boston Chops was named the best steakhouse in Best of Boston 2015.
