I'm Tongue-Tied: Cancer Survivor Grant Achatz Wins Best Chef Award

Chicago's Grant Achatz, 34, received The Jame Beard Foundation's Best Chef Award on Sunday night, capping an intense year during which he stoically battled oral cancer, saving both his tongue and his career. The award was presented in Avery Fisher Hall at New York City's Lincoln Center.

This composition was lovingly crafted in his honor and includes: stunning photography, seven videos that detail both his acclaimed work and his courageous fight against cancer, music and a photo-gallery. Please take the time to share it with the ones that you love.
