Queer All Year Webinar Series: Regions: The Midwest

Tue, August 18, 2026

Join us virtually for James Beard Foundation and Queer Food Foundation’s webinar series, Queer All Year Series. This six-part webinar series offers robust conversations about the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ identity and food with chefs and other culinary professionals. While we acknowledge Pride month is important, we believe in celebrating the community year-round. Each panel highlights several aspects (the good, bad, and hopeful) of queer food spaces. Register to be part of the live webinar or check out the recordings on JBF’s online Resource Center. Each panel is moderated by a member of the QFF’s Board.

This month's webinar will celebrate regional cuisines and folks that preserve traditional practices, support local farmers and artisans, and foster a deeper understanding of how geography, history, and community shape our food.
