F&W Best New Chef 2006 David Chang

The sweet-and-salty vinaigrette on these sprouts is bolstered by fresh herbs and chiles. The key to the dish is to almost burn the brussels sprouts; the charred flavor is irresistible.

F&W Best New Chef 2002 Grant Achatz

You would expect Grant Achatz’s macaroni and cheese to have some chef tricks, but it doesn’t. He uses a white sauce, elbow macaroni and cheddar cheese, just like the rest of us. His personal touch: a tablespoon of paprika (to enhance the color of the sauce) and lots of smoky, crisp bacon bits.

F&W Best New Chef 2002 Dan Barber

Chef Dan Barber prepares this soup with seasonal chicken (raised in late spring, summer and fall), using wings, backs, necks and feet. His recipe yields almost eight quarts of broth, so there’s plenty to freeze. He likes serving the soup with fluffy matzo balls laced with rosemary.
