Nahabedian Becomes Hall of Famer
The Chicago Culinary Museum has chosen Chef Carrie Nahabedian as its 2009 inductee into the Chefs Hall of Fame.

Nahabedian's highly acclaimed career has lasted nearly a quarter-century, the last nine years of which have been at her own River North restaurant NAHA, which showcases Nahbedian's distinct style, blending her Armenian roots and a Californian lifestyle. She's a proponent of locally sourced foods and Chicago's Green City Market. Last year she took home a James Beard award for "Best Chef Great Lakes." She is the Hall of Fame's fourth inductee and first woman, joining past honorees Charlie Trotter, Jimmy Bannos, and Rick Bayless.

Nahabedian's formal induction will take place this fall at a fundraiser for the Chicago Culinary Museum, with details to be announced at a later date.

Re: Carrie Nahabedian - Chef

I knew her back in Los Angeles.

She would always talk about wanting to study at Le Cordon Bleu. I used to watch as she cooked various dishes, always with an Armenian touch. I especially liked her Armenian deviled eggs, for which she used madzoon instead of the customary mustard.
