Temple Bar Tom Berry of Temple Bar in Cambridge emerged victorious Sunday night at the James Beard Foundation Greens 6th Annual Tapas Challenge. The Greens are the culinary organizations younger “friends” group. The event was started in 2003 when three Boston chefs went to NYC. The winner each year receives a trophy with their na...me engraved, and the honor of coming back the following year—and inviting two new Boston chefs against whom they will defend their title. Rachel Klein of Aura restaurant won in 2007. This year she invited Tom Berry of Temple Bar and Will Gilson of Garden at the Cellar.

The three course contest, which was judged by the attendees, was based on the best food and wine pairings. Tom Berry’s Tea-smoked Bluefish Cakes paired with Sake, Lomi Lomi Salmon Ceviche with Riesling and Braised Beef Short Ribs with Syrah took top honors. He joins a list of Boston culinary luminaries, including Barbara Lynch, Laura Brennan and Marc Orfaly.
