Last week, the winners of the 2014 James Beard Awards (basically like the Academy Awards or Oscars of the food world) were announced—and several female chefs brought home prizes!Â
To celebrate their wins, we rounded up some of the most delicious-looking food pictures they’ve posted on their social media accounts. Feast your eyes—and if you’re near one of the restaurants where these amazing women work, we strongly suggest you go in for a taste.
