Follow the Beard Awards online and catch all the action! We'll be streaming the Restaurant and Chef Awards live on Twitter and at jamesbeard.org/awards on Monday, May 6, kicking off with a red carpet pre-show at 6:15 P.M. ET / 5:15 P.M. CT. (ICYMI, we announced the winners of the 2019 James Beard Media Awards on Friday—see the full list here.)

For minute-to-minute updates, stay tuned to our Twitter feed for the Awards Gala at Lyric Opera of Chicago on Monday, May 6. We've also got a brand new app that will be your guide for the categories, presenters, and nominees (not to mention the menu if you're on-site). And be sure to follow us on Instagram for more backstage, behind-the-scenes action, and join the party by tagging your own posts with #jbfa!

Happy Awards season!
