Join us for a delicious, family-style feast at Sunday Supper at Union Market, the beloved annual gathering of some of the city’s most talented chefs, to celebrate the collaborative and welcoming spirit of this community. Hosted by EDENS, one of the nation’s leading retail real estate companies, this event honors the tradition of coming together around the table to celebrate the people behind great food.

Sunday Supper at Union Market 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. 

Sunday Supper at Union Market also serves as the primary benefit for the James Beard Foundation’s Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program (WEL), an advanced educational, training, and networking program for owners or co-owners of brick-and-mortar food or beverage businesses.
