A Virginia restaurant is one step closer to a coveted James Beard Award. Marshall’s Field & Main is a finalist in the outstanding wine and other beverages program category.
Known as the “Oscars of the food world,” the James Beard award program recognizes excellence across the culinary and food media industries.
Field & Main was announced as a semi-finalist in January. The fine-dining restaurant, which focuses on fresh, farm-to-table ingredients, has been featured as a Northern Virginia Magazine Best Restaurant.
After visiting Field & Main, food critic Alice Levitt noted that, “Many restaurants claim to be farm-to-table. Here, chef-owner Neal Wavra uses his close community ties to craft menus to suit whatever comes in from his friends in the field each day. This extends to the wine program, with a list that features local grapes, but not to the point of overlooking great glasses from Europe, New Zealand, and elsewhere in the U.S.”
The James Beard winners will be announced at a June 15 gala in Chicago.
