About the James Beard Foundation (JBF)

Founded in 1986, the James Beard Foundation celebrates, nurtures, and honors chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable for everyone. A cookbook author and teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge about food, the late James Beard was a champion of American cuisine. He helped educate and mentor generations of professional chefs and food enthusiasts, instilling in them the value of wholesome, healthful, and delicious food. Today JBF continues in the same spirit by administering a number of diverse programs that include educational initiatives, food industry awards, scholarships for culinary students, publications, chef advocacy training, and thought-leader convening. The Foundation also maintains the historic James Beard House in New York City’s Greenwich Village as a “performance space” for visiting chefs. For more information, please visit jamesbeard.org. Get food news, recipes, and more at the James Beard Foundation’s blog, or subscribe to the free digital newsletter Beard Bites. Follow @beardfoundation on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat.

Whisky Wednesday! 😝 I was invited to a couple o Whisky Wednesday! 😝 I was invited to a couple of FUN whiskey tasting/food pairings this week I want to share….

🥃 First up… The @Templetondistillery kickoff to summer. We previewed their new, limited edition Barrel Strength 2022 expression. This was paired with @Chicagoqbbq. The BBQ was specially smoked using Templeton Rye’s Barrel Smoking Chips. What a delicious evening! We also had Templeton Rye cocktails and a tasting flight of the 2018 and 2020.

🥃Next up… I became a cheese pro with @glendronach single malt scotch. I headed to @Domschicago to learn about how different types of cheese pair with The GlenDronach’s sherry matured single malt whiskies. My favorite pairing was the Glendronach Allardice 18 year with the aged mimolette cheese. 😋

Educational and FUN start to the week. Cheers! 🥃
