A smell the roses kind of day for #chefdavidviana and all of Good Trouble Hospitality, he’s been nominated for a James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Mid Atlantic!!! (pinch us) Chef has cooked long enough to know that the days are long, the details are maddening, true hospitality can be draining, and everything can change in an instant. We are forever grateful for all of our amazing hospitality professionals and their love and care for what we do, without them, this would have never been possible. Thank you to the James Beard Foundation for giving chefs a voice, for being our advocate, for honoring our struggle. Chef is honored and beyond appreciative to be recognized. Lita is a true love letter to his mom, and to every Portuguese immigrant out there. #litanj P/S so much love and excitement for our Jersey bud and chef Dan Richer of Razza, so well deserved!!! @razzanj @danricher and our homies in LA cooking some of the best Portuguese food out there Chef Melissa Lopéz @barrasantosla @mljcooking
