Bon Appetit's resident Foodist Andrew Knowlton files his predictions for the 2011 James Beard Award winners, and he's putting his money on Le Pigeon's Gabriel Rucker to finally take the Rising Star Chef of the Year category. (In the Pacific Northwest category, Knowlton predicts it'll go to Seattle's Ethan Stowell, but whatever.) And in case you haven't heard, the JBA Foundation has announced it'll live-stream the event this year: Desk jockeys can tune into the ceremony live on the internets Monday at 6pm EST.
