James Beard Foundation February 2019
“We're thrilled to announce our 2018 Restaurant and Chef Award semifinalists! Read on for semifinalists in all categories, from Outstanding Restaurant to Rising Star Chef of the Year. ”
James Beard Foundation February 2018
“From chefs to writers, start-up founders to a pitmaster, women are writing Southern food’s next chapter.”
Southern Living December 2017
“A James Beard Award nomination earlier this year pushed her further into the spotlight, but Kumar still appears calm amidst the chaos, focusing intently on her dual passions of taste and sound.”
Food & Wine July 2017
“Cheetie Kumar’s cuisine cannot be defined with one, or two, or even seven descriptors. At her North Carolina restaurant Garland, techniques and flavors from Asia and Persia are prevalent. These mingle with concepts and tastes from her native Northern India. All are sprinkled with a bit of Latin influence and seasoned with her Bronx upbringing. Her heritage inevitably and indelibly informs the food she serves at her Raleigh restaurant, but Kumar is a Southerner by choice.”
