Two Tucson chefs have been included in America's Best Chefs 2013.

Addam Buzzalini and Janos Wilder were voted by their peers for this well-deserved award.

Buzzalini is the Executive Chef at Maynards Market & Kitchen, one of my favorite places in Tucson.
Addam likes to take classical dishes and then adds his own modern flair. The pizzas are to die for and the entrees change with the season so you'll always be surprised.

Janos continues to make magic at his DOWNTOWN KITCHEN + COCKTAILS. We had the pleasure of dining there just this past Saturday and took advantage of the restaurant's World Tour. Every month throughout the summer, the kitchen visits cities around the world. Street food is prepared with finesse. This month is Seoul, Korea. We loved the bo saam and the pork belly/shrimp pancakes were outstanding.

Because fellow chefs vote on these choices this makes winning the honor quite a coup.
