Chef Jamie Davis, executive chef at The Hackney in Washington, NC recently found out he was a James Beard Award semi-finalist for Best Chef Southeast, then he found out he was a finalist. What’s next? We will find out on June 10 in Chicago for the James Beard Awards 2024.

Before then, Jamie shares his insights into his journey, from growing up in Jacksonville to his time in the military and eventually making his mark in the culinary world. We hit on the importance of acknowledging diversity in the culinary world while also hoping to get to a place where it doesn’t matter anymore. We explore the significance of community, camaraderie, and visibility in the food industry, along with Davis's experiences in Iraq and the importance of supporting local farmers.

Let’s cheer on Jamie and our other North Carolina JBF finalists as we venture to Chicago next week!
