A fork of greatness.
Giant congratulations to my favorite chef and (dare I say it?) personal friend Matt Steigerwald, chef/owner of the Lincoln Café and nominee for a 2010 James Beard Award: Best Chef—Midwest.
This is huge. The Beard Award is the Nobel Prize of the food world.
Not only does he make fantastic, creative, local and seasonal cuisine, he is humble and funny and kind. Matt and his restaurant are an asset to our state. Between the Lincoln Café and gay marriage, Iowa is pretty much the best place ever.
