Pizza Grace Chefs Honored for James Beard Award

Ryan and Geri-Martha OHara, the husband-and-wife team behind Pizza Grace in Birmingham, Alabama, have been recognized as semifinalists for the James Beard Award for Best Chef in the South. Their journey began under the mentorship of Frank Stitt, where they honed their skills and developed their unique approach to pizza-making. Their naturally leavened dough, made from a twenty-five-year-old sourdough starter named Frank, and their commitment to using fresh local ingredients have set them apart. The couple is humbled by the recognition, especially coming from the same foundation that honored their mentor. Their success is a testament to Birminghams vibrant food culture, built on pioneers like Stitt.
