We told you yesterday about the five Tulsa chefs named in the new book, Best Chefs America.

On Friday, they released the names of the remaining Oklahoma chefs. We thought you might want to know who they are in case you venture out of the city for a bite to eat.

And Sam Bracken of The Canebrake is just a short drive away in Wagoner.

The book will be released March 1 and 25 Oklahoma chefs are included.
The chefs were nominated by their peers.

From March through December, Best Chefs America analysts conducted more than 5,000 confidential telephone interviews with chefs who were nominated by other chefs, culinary professionals and food enthusiasts across the country.

The results were compiled into a 386-page guide, appearing in a coffee table format, listing approximately 4800 chefs and their corresponding restaurants throughout the country. Sections are broken down geographically and alphabetically.

Best Chefs America costs $75 and can be purchased at BestChefsAmerica.com

Wonder how much they paid to be included in the book. I suspect the best means "best."

She has covered crime, city government and general assignment beats during that time - but mostly crime. But when she isn’t at work, Nicole is a devoted food hobbyist. She enjoys meal planning and cooking with her husband, Steve, every day of the week and on holidays it’s a family affair. When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
