Join us at the very grand and timeless Grand Hotel for their annual Cork & Fork, in celebration of female culinary talent. Engage with emcee Sara Moulton and our roster of chefs throughout the weekend, from reception, to cooking demos and wine tasting, to a lively brunch exploring themes of family heritage. The highlight will be a magnificent multi-course dinner with exquisite wine pairings from Master Sommelier Elizabeth Schweitzer.

Cork & Fork: A Celebration of Female Culinary Talent is part of the Friends of James Beard Benefit series; events hosted by generous people, businesses, and organizations outside of JBF that provide critical funding for our programs. Each event supports our mission to champion a standard of Good Food for Good® anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.
