Loading ...What’s up with Minneapolis? And no Chicago?
The “Best Chef” category has Chicago in a different geographic region.
CONGRATS GERALD! YOU DESERVE THIS HONOR HANDS DOWN.
He already is a Top Chef. He doesn’t need Bravo.
This is surprising b/c in my 2 visits, the first of which was right after St. Louis magazine gave it high accoloades, the food was just ok and service was below par. Maybe I just went on an off night both times.
Yea, Gerard! Last summer, you made a little beet ravioli in an herb milk. Sounds kind of crazy, I know. Tasted like heaven on a plate. That dish alone should get you the award.
Niche is my FAVORITE restaurant ever!!! Love everything there!! Congrats!!!
Hi! I’m from Chicago, well Cleveland actually, and I love Niche!!!!! I would eat there every day if I could!!! Double Congratulations and a big HIGH FIVE!!!!
Mr. Craft is by far the BEST chef around! Congratulations on the nomination and good luck and best wishes on the final competition!
Joe Bonwich has been the restaurant critic for the Post-Dispatch since 2002 and has covered the local food scene for various publications for more than 25 years. He does his best to maintain his anonymity so that he isn't recognized in restaurants (which is why his picture looks like it does).
Bravo TV is now casting for Season 6 of Top Chef. Go for it, Gerard!
