WASHINGTON -- On Friday, two chefs not only received the Smithsonian's Julia Child Award, but also made history by doing so.
This is the first time a woman has ever won the award, which makes it even more special because this year's recipients are both women.
Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger were the 2018 recipients.
