Seeing that education is an important slice of the JBF pie, we’re always looking for opportunities to help others learn about the value of good meal. So when the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund—a supporter of the New York City Department of Health’s Green Cart Initiative—invited us to collaborate on a project that feeds our fellow New Yorkers, we were more than happy to oblige.

Serving Up James Beard Continues!

Have you dined at a Serving Up James Beard participant yet? This campaign will continue through Labor Day weekend, so there's still plenty of time to enjoy food inspired by the dean of American cookery. Better still, a dollar of every purchased dish will go toward our our Silver Anniversary Scholarship Drive.

 

Remember to keep visiting the Serving Up James Beard page to see if any restaurants in your area are participating. We've also been tweeting photos of Beard-inspired dishes, which you can find by searching for #servingupjamesbeard.
