A Spotlight on Food & Film
 
This year, the “Oscars of the food world” are going Hollywood! Our 2013 Awards theme is inspired by the starring role food has played on the silver screen.  Our gala will pay tribute to America’s love affair with the movies and Hollywood’s love affair with food.  In this spirit, we have asked our James Beard Rising Star Award winners and nominees through the years to join us and create a dish for our guests, inspired by a favorite film moment.  Expect a blockbuster evening filled with action, suspense, laughter, and of course deliciousness.
