Lattoia Massey, better known as Chef Nicola Blaque, is the chef and co-owner of the Jamaican restaurant The Jerk Shack.The James Beard Foundation has announced its list of semifinalists for the 2023 Restaurant and Chef Awards, and the San Antonio area is making its mark once again. This year, seven individuals or teams have earned honors in this preliminary round of nominations.
Noticeably absent among the semifinalists is chef Steve McHugh of the Pearl restaurant Cured, who's been a perennial contender in both the Best Chef: Southwest and Best Chef: Texas category — the latter was created after a regional awards reorganization in 2020 — since 2016. McHugh has repeatedly advanced to the finalist round of those categories each year he was nominated.
