Antica Terra on Instagram: “Chef Timothy Wastell has been named Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific by the James Beard Foundation. A recognition that mirrors what we’ve long known—that his work is a kind of quiet alchemy. His reverence for the land, for ingredients, for the people who grow them, is matched only by the care with which he prepares each plate. We couldn’t be more proud. And we couldn’t be more grateful to sit at his table. We are, first, his devoted fans. It’s an honor to see the wider world take notice. We’re deeply grateful to the @beardfoundation for shining a light on @timothywastell’s work, and for championing the chefs and makers who give so much of themselves in the name of hospitality. To the entire culinary team at Antica Terra—Ramon Kelly-Canarios, Alec Moore, and Robin Depke III—our hats are off for you. Thank you for making this program shine. To the extraordinary chefs alongside him in this category—our admiration runs deep. It’s a gift to be in your company: Jay Blackinton, Houlme, Orcas Island, WA @jayblackinton Joshua Dorcak, MÄS, Ashland, OR @mas_ashland Ryan Roadhouse, Nodoguro, Portland, OR @thenodoguro Beau Schooler, In Bocca Al Lupo, Juneau, AK @beauschooler James Beard Foundation Photo by Easton Richmond”
