2024 StarChefs Boston Rising Stars Awards
StarChefs returns to Boston to celebrate the city’s most talented up-and-coming food and beverage professionals.
The 2024 Boston Rising Stars Awards will be the 87th class of Award winners and the 6th class from Boston.
The Rising Stars Award winners are designated by the StarChefs editorial team based on in-person tastings and interviews. In each market, the editorial team tastes and interviews with more than 100 chefs, pastry chefs, bartenders, sommeliers, restaurateurs, and artisans, ultimately selecting a group of 18 to 25 professionals who best represent the future of American dining. Although Rising Stars Awards are given out locally, award winners are evaluated according to a set of national standards. Creativity, ambition, presentation, philosophy, and, most important, delicious food, drinks, and/or pairings win the designation of a StarChefs Rising Star.
