Questlove’s Chef Book Nominated for James Beard Award

Last year, Questlove and co-writer Ben Greenman released a new book called something to food about: Exploring Creativity with America’s Most Innovative Chefs. Today, that book was nominated for the James Beard Foundation Book Award for Nonfiction. The James Beard Awards are commonly referred to as the “Oscars of the food world.” In the below Instagram post, Questlove writes that the nod makes him want to do a “happy dance.” He continued, “Wow man, who knew being a fly on the wall watching others work and gathering life notes would lead to this?” 

Look, most chef’s I know be all “meh w accolades” & that’s noble and humble. But just for 30 secs am I allowed to happy dance w being a #JamesBeard nom nom nominee for just a sec?
