Catalyst chef/owner William Kovel bested nine other New England kitchen comrades in Food & Wine magazine’s annual “The People’s Best New Chef”award, it was announced today.
The classically trained Cambridge chef, who opened his Kendall Square eatery in September, was voted into the F&W class by readers and fans via an online poll. Nine other regional chefs won the same honor, but the top dawg was Tim Byres of Smoke in Dallas.
“It’s a great honor to be selected, “ Kovel told Fork Lift. “All the chefs that were nominated are extremely talented and have great restaurants. I am very proud of the staff at Catalyst who are the backbone of our success and the support we have received from our guests.”
