Bluestem's Colby Garrelts is one step closer to victory. This afternoon, the James Beard Foundation
announced its award finalists, and Garrelts — named a semifinalist alongside Room 39's Ted Habiger
last month — is still in the running.
Garrelts is one of five finalists in the Best Chef: Midwest category. He's no stranger to the contest, having been nominated five years in a row. He's up against another streak: a Minnesota juggernaut. The Twin Cities have taken the Midwest category the past three years.
The awards dinner is in New York City May 7.
