I lamented the paucity of women chefs at previous Food and Wine festivals.
I have to note that they fare better at SF Chefs 2010 even though they do not reach parity with the guys.
Let me name a few of the ladies:
Kim Alter of Plate Shop (yet to open) followed by Bridget Batson of Gitane,Jennifer Biesty at Scala's Bistro, Elizabeth Binder of Bar Bambino, Sarah Burchard at Barbacco, Marisa Churchill of Top Chef, Dominique Crenn at Luce, Elizabeth Falkner of Citizen Cake a Pop Up Shop and Orson, last Janine Falvo at Carneros Bistro and Wine Bar at the Lodge at Sonoma.
Sorry I did not make it through the whole alphabet…
My apologies to the ladies I did not mention.
