James Beard Award Finalists Announced in Various Cities Across the US
Chef Hajime Sato, owner of Sozai in Clawson, has been named a finalist for the James Beard Award in the "Outstanding Chef" category. Sato's passion for creating really good sushi and promoting sustainability is reflected in his menu, which invites conversation about where the food comes from and how it was caught. He is up against chefs from New York, Los Angeles, and D.C. for the prestigious award, which will take place on June 5 in Chicago.
