(ET) on ABC. The exciting television special will feature appearances by industry icons Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio, Traci des Jardins, Carla Hall, Emeril Lagasse, Jacques Pepin, Gail Simmons, Martha Stewart, Ming Tsai, and Marcus Samuelsson, who will help us tell the story of our history and evolution.

On our seventh installment of 30 Years in 30 Days, we’ve got restaurateur Will Guidara, of NYC’s Beard Award–winning Eleven Madison Park, who focuses every day on hospitality. Guidara emphasizes that Mr. Beard paved the way for restaurateurs and chefs to understand that what they do matters.
