Chef Chris Beckett of Fish Gaucho and Chef Nicola Allegretta of Mistura will be judged by a professional panel of judges on a variety of factors, as well as by the public, who will vote on the people’s choice award.
The chefs face competition from Chef Sarah Paddock of Chipwrecked in Pismo Beach, Chef Casey Walcot of Sea Venture in Pismo Beach, Chef Steve Smeets of Apple Farm Inn in San Luis Obispo and Chef Kristina Duffy of Inn at Morro Bay in Morro Bay.
