The annual James Beard Foundation Awards are one of the most exciting and respected events of the year on American dining and food. Beginning in January, the annual awards ceremony announces the Restaurant and Chef Award semifinalists, followed by the America’s Classics Awards announcement in February and the Restaurant and Chef finalist list in March. The star-studded awards ceremony will be held this year on June 15 in Chicago, where the results of the final categories, including the restaurant and chef award winners, will finally be revealed.
The James Beard Foundation is also giving out awards this year for the best cookbooks, journalism, broadcast media and television, and even social media, with media winners revealed the weekend before the main awards ceremony.
Eater will post real-time updates as new winners are announced, so stay tuned for the latest news and awards information.
