Food & Wine editor Dana Cowin has been tweeting hints as to the identities of the 2012 Best New Chefs since yesterday morning and now it looks like we've got a local among them. Hint #7: "Vernal DC." This likely refers to Equinox and, since Todd Gray's been running that place for more than a decade, the chef in question is probably Karen Nicolas, who took over as executive chef last fall. Nicolas was also nominated for F&W's People's Best New Chef last month. [Twitter]
