Patricia Greenberg Advances to the Quarter-Finals — Now She Needs Your Vote More Than Ever

Voting for Semi-Finalists closes Thursday, July 23rd at 7PM PDT. And right now, your donation vote counts DOUBLE.

When I shared the news about being nominated for the 2026 Favorite Chef Competition, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. The response from this community blew me away.

Because of you, I’m a Quarter-Finalist — currently ranked #8 — and the next round determines who makes it to the Semi-Finals.

This is where it gets real.

The winner of this competition will be featured in Taste of Home magazine, enjoy a cooking experience with Carla Hall, and take home $25,000 — which I’ve committed to putting directly toward plant-based cooking education, community outreach, and healthy recipe programming for people of all ages. Every age.

Here’s what you need to know right now:

Free daily vote — one click, no cost, every day until July 23rd
LIMITED TIME: 2X donation votes — ends tonight, Wednesday July 15th at 9PM PDT.
Every donation to the James Beard Foundation counts double right now. If you’ve been thinking about it, tonight is the night.
Voting for Semi-Finalists closes Thursday, July 23rd at 7PM PDT

We’ve made it this far together. A few more votes — and a little urgency tonight — could take us all the way to the Semi-Finals.

Share this with your people. Let’s keep going.
