Chef Justin Wills earned a 2011 nomination for Food & Wine’s People’s Choice Award – Best New Chef U.S., and was a James Beard semi-finalist for “Best Chef Northwest” in both 2012 and 2013. Wills was also included in the inaugural edition of Best Chefs America 2013 and 2014 — an industry peer review of the nation’s top culinary talent. Although many miles from the heart of wine country, Justin and Stormee understand the alliance between food and wine, and the importance of supporting Oregon’s wine industry. Restaurant Beck’s rising star status and truly locavore philosophy in both food and wine earn it a Regional Star Award.
