Josh Dorcak is hoping the second time’s a charm. The chef and owner of MÄS in Ashland is one of five finalists for a coveted James Beard Foundation Award in the Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific category. In 2023 he was among the semifinalists in the same category.
Chefs behind Lovely’s Fifty Fifty, Kann, and MÄS move forward alongside restaurants and bakeries from the state.
On April 3 the James Beard Foundation announced the 2024 Restaurant and Chef Award nominees and the honorees of the Leadership Awards, Humanitarian of the Year Award, and Lifetime Achievement Award at a live ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC in Washington, D.C.
How easy it is to overlook the sleepy little alleyway tucked behind the bustling shops of Ashland’s Main Street. Here you may encounter the occasional electric bicycle or employee taking a break. If you look closely, notice a warm light and welcoming door with three simple letters: MÄS.
Each year the James Beard Awards endeavor to recognize the talent and achievement of exceptional culinary artists. Among this year’s prestigious nominees, is Ashland chef and owner of MÄS, Joshua Dorcak.
