Sean Brock, Andy Ricker Get Shout-Outs In Cooking Light's Chef Awards

It's awards season again, and this time Cooking Light is dishing out superlatvies for their Trailblazing Chefs. Big winners include Sean Brock for The Culinary Preservation Award (for "his extraordinary crusade to restore the glory of Southern food by reintroducing local ingredients," Cooking Light writes), plus Andy Ricker for The Global Flavor Award.

Both aren't that surprising; Brock's James Beard Award was a win for Charleston and Southern cooking; Ricker is known for truly authentic Thai food (although Cooking Light prefers "respectful" since Ricker isn't Thai).

Other winners include Collin Donnelly of The Red Hen in Lextingon, Va., Jeremy Bearman of New York's Rouge Tomate, and Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby of Vedge in Philly. Check out the full list below.
