James Beard Foundation Award: 2000s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The James Beard Foundation Awards are annual awards presented by the James Beard Foundation to recognize culinary professionals in the United States.[1] The awards recognize chefs, restaurateurs, authors and journalists each year, and are generally scheduled around James Beard's May birthday.[2]

The foundation also awards annually since 1998 the designation of America's Classic for local independently-owned restaurants that reflect the character of the community.[3]

Chef and Restaurant Awards
