Honoring Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart’s name is synonymous with style, creativity, and success. Through her magazines, television shows, consumer products, and more, Martha has created a lifestyle empire that millions look to for advice, guidance, and inspiration. We are thrilled to honor her at this year’s Chefs & Champagne for her work in bringing elegant and approachable cuisine to an ever-expanding audience.

Chefs & Champagne® New York is the James Beard Foundation's annual summer gala. The event is a sumptuous tasting party featuring flowing Champagnes, the wines of Wölffer Estate Vineyard, and culinary offerings from a select group of more than 30 fine chefs, many from JBF Award–winning restaurants. The 2010 recipient of the Christian Wölffer Scholarship for wine and food studies will also be announced.
