Award-winning television personality and author Alton Brown will host the 2012 James Beard Awards, which will take place on May 7 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall in New York City. Brown, who co-hosted the 2010 Awards with Lidia Bastianich and Wolfgang Puck, is best known as the host of the popular Food Network show, Good Eats, which aired its final episode last month. The theme of the 2012 Awards is "25 Years of Food at its Best," marking the Foundation's silver anniversary. Chefs who have been invited to cook at the reception will prepare dishes inspired by recipes from James Beard's classic cookbooks. See the full release here.

Apron Anxiety: Alton Brown
"I've never seen a corn dog I didn't love," answered Alton Brown when asked his weakness. (He advises to go to Coney Island and go crazy.)Awards Watch: Awards Theme and Hosts Announced
Italian maven Lidia Bastianich, fusion pioneer Wolfgang Puck, and kitchen science cognoscente Alton Brown will share the podium at this year's James Beard Foundation Awards, which will go down on Monday, May 3, at Lincoln Center. The theme of this year's ceremony is "The Legacy Continues," a nod to the lasting impact that James Beard and his successors have had on American cuisine. We're asking every chef who has won our Outstanding Chef award (Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz, and others) to shine a spotlight on chefs whom they believe are extraordinary examples of excellence in our culinary world. The 2010 Awards Gala Reception will feature dishes from these established and emerging talents from around the country. (Some of our Outstanding Chef winners will be handing out this year's medals, so expect to see some of the big names in the house, too).
We've also tapped Kelly Choi, host of Eat Out NY and Top Chef
