The James Beard Awards named no winners in Massachusetts Monday night. But the ceremony did give a shoutout to Sullivan's Castle Island, which was named an America's Classics winner in February. Why it matters: It's the biggest night in the restaurant business.

New York City restaurants won three of the six major national awards: outstanding chef (Jungsik Yim of Jungsik ), outstanding hospitality ( Atomix) and outstanding restaurateur (Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr of Frenchette, Le Rock and Le Veau d’Or ).

Galit in Chicago is a first-time James Beard finalist for its Middle Eastern cuisine. The restaurant's chef, Zachary Engel, has previously won a James Beard Award for Rising Star Chef in 2017 for Shaya Restaurant in New Orleans.
