Gabrielle Hamilton on winning the Beard Award for Best Chef: New York City: "It's such a conflicted category. Obviously the guys with big restaurants and doing fine dining -- that's where this title should go. I feel less than this title but I feel a little more than we are often credited for. Because we are tiny and the tables wobble, it's easy to underestimate what we can do in a small space." [FitR]
