Awards Watch: Theme and Hosts Announced
The Awards news just keeps on coming. Today we're excited to announce the theme of the 2013 Beard Awards: Lights! Camera! Taste! Spotlight on Food & Film. In homage to the role that food has played on the silver screen, we'll be highlighting iconic culinary scenes in cinema throughout our Awards festivities. We've also asked the chefs who are cooking at this year's reception to create dishes inspired by a favorite food moment in a movie.
In hosting news, we've tapped Ted Allen to emcee the Book, Broadcast & Journalism Awards Dinner on Friday, May 3; award–winning actor Stanley Tucci will assume hosting duties at our Lincoln Center gala on Monday, May 6.
Five Dishes Worth the Time and Effort
In My Kitchen, the latest book from multiple JBF Award winner and last month's Chefs & Champagne® New York honoree, Ted Allen, is perfect for those of us who love to get lost in cooking. We asked the Chopped host to tell us his favorite recipes that are worth the hours they require.
I am very much a slow-food guy. I like nurtured, developed, deep flavors, smokers that give off sweet wisps of porky yummy over the course of an entire day, soups and stocks and sauces that simmer happily for an afternoon. Here are some recipes that take a little time. So what? You have something better to do than cook? There’s almost nothing better to do than cook.
Yummmmmmm. I cook this stuff for six to eight hours. That is what I am talkin’ about.

Recipe Roundup: A North Carolina–Style Barbecue
Here's how to throw the best party of the summer: Buy a massive cut of pork shoulder and fire up your grill. Rub the pork with dry spices and cook it nice and slow over smoldering charcoal all day long. In the meantime, make a mess of sides and a sweet, biscuit-topped fruit cobbler. Invite the neighbors over. Don't forget the beer.
Ted Allen loves a slow-cooked pork shoulder, particularly when the tender meat is shredded, slathered with a vinegary, western North Carolina-inspired sauce, and piled high onto toasted buns.
Pickled greens? Yes and yes. Though minced cabbage is a more traditional accompaniment to this type of regional barbecue, these sweet-and-sour greens really cut through the rich, fatty pulled pork.

Giveaway: Win a Copy of Ted Allen's "In My Kitchen"
Chefs & Champagne, our annual summer tasting party in the Hamptons, is one of our favorite gatherings, and this year's event is extra special because it’s happening while we celebrate our silver anniversary. (Get your tickets here!)
While we knew that the party’s offerings of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Wölffer Estate Vineyard wines, Belgian beers, and dishes from more than 30 chefs would be a huge draw on their own (check out the full menu), we still wondered how we could make this year’s Chefs & Champagne more exciting than ever. Then it hit us: why not team up with one of the biggest food shows on television? A few phone calls later, we're thrilled to be teaming up the JBF Award–winning cast of Chopped, including its incredibly knowledgeable host, Ted Allen, and its... Read more >
