The James Beard Award has been an elusive one for Arizona chefs, though some of the state’s best have been finalists for the prestigious honor.

This year, one Arizona couple is in the running to win a different category of the Beard Awards.

Michelle Jacoby and Mark Lipczynski have been nominated for Best Video Webcast, On Location. They produced the Elements video series.

We talked with Jacoby and Lipczynski ahead of this week’s ceremony.
