Sky Haneul Kim, chef at Gift Horse in Providence, Sky Haneul Kim, chef at Gift Horse in Providence, R.I., was named Best Chef: Northeast at the 2025 James Beard Foundation Awards, held Monday night in a star-studded ceremony at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Often dubbed the “Oscars of the food world,” the James Beard Awards honor the best chefs, restaurants, and culinary innovators across the U.S. Kim’s win places her among the elite in the industry and marks a major moment for Rhode Island’s dining scene. @gifthorsepvd, a raw bar with South Korean influences, has quickly become one of Providence’s most talked-about destinations. Kim beat out a competitive field that included Avery Buck of May Day (VT), Brian Lewis of The Cottage (CT), Erin Miller of Urban Hearth (MA), and fellow Rhode Islander Derek Wagner of @nicksonbroadway. This win makes Kim just the third chef from Rhode Island to take home a James Beard title and the second in the past three years—an impressive feat for the Ocean State. Other Rhode Islanders were also in the spotlight. Nikhil Naiker of @nimki.pvd in Providence was a finalist for Emerging Chef, though the award went to Phila Lorn of Mawn in Philadelphia. @oberlin_pvd, also based in Providence, was in the running for Outstanding Restaurant, a category ultimately won by Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colo. Held in front of more than 1,500 guests, the 35th annual awards ceremony celebrated culinary excellence nationwide and underscored the growing influence of Rhode Island chefs on the national stage. #jamesbeardfoundation #providenceri #newportbuzz #gifthorsepvd

Rhode Island’s top legislative leaders have thro Rhode Island’s top legislative leaders have thrown their support behind an amended bill to create a statewide needs assessment council that would explore the best approach to implementing a bottle redemption and recycling program. House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Valarie J. Lawson announced the move Monday, following months of work by a joint legislative commission. “There is still a great deal of conflicting data” around best practices for bottle redemption and anti-littering efforts, the leaders said in a joint statement. “We believe it would be in the best interests of Rhode Islanders to conduct a needs assessment, as other states have done.” The amended legislation directs the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) to work with an independent third-party consultant to evaluate the potential framework for a bottle bill. The process will include input from the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation and other stakeholders, and culminate in a report with findings and recommendations no later than December 2026. A bottle bill typically adds a refundable deposit on beverage containers, such as soda and water bottles, to encourage consumers to return them for recycling. Supporters say it reduces litter, boosts recycling rates, and keeps plastic out of landfills. The proposal builds on original legislation (2025-H 6207A) introduced by Rep. Carol Hagan McEntee (D-South Kingstown, Narragansett) and Sen. Mark McKenney (D-Warwick), who co-chair the commission tasked with evaluating ways to reduce plastic bottle waste. The House Environment and Natural Resources Committee is set to consider the amended bill Wednesday. A companion measure is expected to be posted soon in the Senate Environment and Agriculture Committee. #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
