Three Austin chefs have been named semi-finalists for prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards.

Barley Swine’s Bryce Gilmore, named one of Food & Wine’s best new chefs of 2011, has made the short list for Rising Star Chef of the Year. “Top Chef” star Paul Qui of Uchiko is one of 21 chefs to make the semi-finals for Best Chef: Southwest. Qui joins Texas chefs Bruce Auden (Biga on the Banks, San Antonio), Bruno Davaillon (Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dallas), Manabu Horiuchi (Kata Robata, Houston), Anita Jaisinghani (Indika, Houston), Maiya Keck (Maiya’s, Marfa), Hugo Ortega, (Hugo’s, Houston) and Teiichi Sakurai (Tei-An, Dallas) on the list. Qui’s peer in the Uchi empire, Philip Speer, was named one of the 20 semi-finalists for Outstanding Pastry Chef. Qui’s mentor, Tyson Cole of Uchi, won (in a tie) the Best Chef: Southwest award last year.
