Dirt Candy chef Amanda Cohen responds to Anthony Bourdain's question, "Why—at this point in history—do we need a 'Best Female Chef' special designation?" She cites a bunch of numbers including, "In six years, 126 James Beard Awards have been given out. 22 of them have gone to women." She goes on: "I think the press have created a vicious cycle where women ... get ignored by the press, and the more they get ignored the more they get left off nomination lists." [Dirt Candy]
