Phila Lorn of Mawn wins a major James Beard chef award​

Phila Lorn has emerged, all right.

Lorn, the chef who, with his wife, Rachel, own Mawn, a Cambodian noodle house that is one of Philadelphia’s hottest reservations, was named the year’s Emerging Chef at the 2025 James Beard Awards ceremony in Chicago Monday night.

The South Philadelphia-raised Lorn, 39, is the youngest of five children born to Cambodian refugees. Lorn, whose parents named him after their adopted city, called the award “a dream.” After thanking the Beard Foundation and his wife, Lorn dedicated his award to the idea of “having confidence and owning what you do as a craft.”

Dickson's Farmstand Meats: Opened in 2009 in The Chelsea Market, Jake Dickson was a pioneer in the urban "Nose to Tail" butchery movement utilizing artisan meats from local small family farms, with an excellent in-house charcuterie program, featuring beef lamb, pork, duck and chicken, processed into steaks, chops, stew meat and roasts and many unusual cuts. Since filming this they have expanded considerably and are now located in the basement of the Chelsea Market with a full service meat centric restaurant.
