StarChefs.com™, an online magazine for "culinary insiders," will be honoring up-and-coming chefs and culinary professionals from the Bluegrass and Volunteer states with its 2014 Kentucky-Tennessee Rising Stars Awards. Louisville-area honorees include Chefs Annie Pettry of Decca and Levon Wallace of Proof, Charcutier Jay Denham of Curehouse, Seelbach Sommelier Julie DeFriend, Mixologist Susie Hoyt of The Silver Dollar, Brewers Sam Cruz and Jerry Gnagy of Against The Grain, and Roaster James Tooill of Argo Sons.
