Robert Andreozzi (Pizza Marvin - Providence). Sherry Pocknet (Sly Fox Den Too - Charlestown) Milena Pagán (Little Sister - Providence, RI)

I haven't been to Sly Fox Den Too, but Andreozzi and Pagan are both surprising nominations. I can't say it's common to see a Pizza chef nominated for a James Beard award. But Pizza Marvin has some fantastic pizza, so congrats to Andreozzi. I'm mostly shocked to hear Little Sister nominated for anything, since they have been sold out of food every time I've tried eating there.

Edit: My wife attempted to eat lunch at Little Sister today. Not surprisingly, they were sold out of pretty much everything. The only item they had was chicken, which was served undercooked.
