Recipe: Alaskan Dungeness Crab Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Melon
Adam Zieminski of Café Adam in Great Barrington made this simple crab salad when he cooked at the Beard House earlier this month. We like the simple, contrasting geometries of the halved tomatoes and melon square (and it also tastes great!).

America's Classics: Weaver D’s, Athens, GA
Each year at the Beard Awards, we give out a handful of special honors called America’s Classics. A wide range of restaurants have been recognized as America’s Classics, from steakhouses to clam shacks, but the common thread is that they each have a timeless appeal—and are renowned in their regions for serving quality food that reflects the character of their community.
Owned by the self-proclaimed “Professor of Soul” Dexter Weaver, Weaver D’s is a fixture in Athens, Georgia. Beloved for its traditional soul food as well as its colorful proprietor, Weaver D’s keeps locals and tourists coming back for spot-on fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, buttermilk cornbread, and the restaurant’s signature squash casserole. Learn more about America’s Classics and watch a video about Weaver D’s here.

Ask a Chef: Nate Appleman
After Nate Appleman snagged the JBF Award for Rising Star Chef this past spring, we asked him about his favorite spots in San Francisco. Even though the young chef recently relocated to New York City, we think it's safe to say that these places still have a special place in his heart.
