Calumet Fisheries Wins James Beard Foundation's America's Classics Award
James Beard Foundation announced this year's America's Classics Award. Among the five recipients this year is Anthony Bourdain-approved smoked fish emporium, Calumet Fisheries. A strictly takeout-only operation, Calumet Fisheries has been a favorite of many a fried/smoked fish lover since its opening in 1948.
Press release says that the award is given to those restaurants that have "carved out a special place on the American culinary landscape" (think small mom-and-pop eateries with decades of history, greasy spoons with devout following, lunch counters serving regional specialties). Fitting, isn't it?
