We’re so excited to share the update that Chef Ann Ahmed has now been named a final nominee in the Best Chef: Midwest category of the 2024 James Beard Awards for her restaurant, Khâluna.
In 2023 Ann was named a semifinalist in the same category, also for Khâluna, however this is her first final nomination. Congratulations to Ann for this major achievement!
Shea partnered with Ann on the design of Khâluna, and we are thrilled for her continued success and recognition. In addition to Khâluna, we again partnered on Lat 14 and, most recently, Gai Noi.
