The James Beard Foundation is a non-profit culinary arts organization that honors food leaders in America, provides education and mentorship to professional chefs, and promotes the value of a diverse industry and healthy food.
Every year, the James Beard Foundation awards restaurants, bars, and chefs across the country with the honor of a James Beard Award. New Orleans, being the food and drink city it is, is no stranger to these awards - in fact, restaurants across the city have taken home this prestigious title many times.
