The 2012 JBF Awards Ceremony and Reception
Join host Alton Brown and the nation’s top chefs at the event that has become the social and gastronomic highlight of the year.

The menu is sure to be delicious, innovative, and fun. What better way to celebrate the James Beard Foundation’s anniversary and 25 years of food at its best?
