JamesBeardFoundation’s Taste America®Returns to Phoenix
September 19-21
Three-day event includes RAISING THE BAR reception & GALA BENEFIT DINNER
Robyn Lee, Organizer of The James Beard Taste Phoenix and Danielle Leoni, Owner/Chef at Breadfruit & Rum Bar joined me on the show to talk all things James Beard Foundation.
When people think of the James Beard Foundation, they think about good food. From their James Beard Awards, which celebrate the heights of culinary excellence, to an array of gastronomic events like Taste America that they host throughout the year around the country, the James Beard Foundation is passionate about making the world a more delicious place. But good food also represents a set of values—like sustainability, diversity, gender-equality, and equity—that make our world a better place. This year’s Taste America program will celebrate the Foundation’s dedication to “Good Food for Good,” highlighting their vision for a better food world, one that is diverse, sustainable, equitable, and accessible for all. This unique culinary showcase, now in its seventh year, brings James Beard Award-winning and other celebrated chefs to twenty cities annually for a series of exciting events: Visit jamesbeard.org/tasteamerica for more details.
