More than a half-dozen of Los Angeles’ top chefs, bakers, restaurants and beverage programs were named finalists for this year’s James Beard Foundation Awards.
Holmes, a first-time Beard Foundation nominee, learned she was in the running Wednesday morning when the foundation tagged her on Instagram.
“I wrote on our vision board, ‘It’d be nice for us to get a James Beard nomination one day,’” she said. “I didn’t mean two days from then! It’s pretty exciting. It has always been kind of a goal to be recognized by James Beard [Foundation] — I think it’s one of those organizations that people really respect what they do and respect who they honor and I’m just happy to be included. I’m ecstatic. It feels a little surreal.
It’s been a busy year for Holmes, who amid the nomination and running Bridgetown Roti as a weekend-only pop-up is planning to open her first bricks-and-mortar restaurant. The chef-founder hopes the new Bridgetown Roti will open in East Hollywood, at 850 N. Vermont Ave., by the end of the year, though it could be early 2024.
