Now in its third week, James Beard Foundation’s Taste America® will be continuing its cross-country tour this Friday. Here's a preview of what’s on deck Philadelphia, one of our two upcoming stops.
On Friday, October 4, Taste America All-Star Carla Hall and some of the Philadelphia area's best chefs, including several James Beard Award winners, will prepare a private VIP multicourse dinner at Pêche. The venue will then open its doors to the public for a tasting reception featuring more City of Brotherly Love talent, including JBF Award winner Michael Solomonov, Mitch Prensky, Joe Cicala, and more. This not-to-miss event will also feature an exciting live auction.
On Saturday, join us at the King of Prussia location of Sur La Table for a day of free cooking demos and local product tastings. Carla Hall will start the day with a demonstration in the store's kitchen, followed by another demo with Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby of Philadelphia's acclaimed vegan restaurant, Vedge. Our chefs will also be signing copies of their cookbooks for fans.
The James Beard Foundation is proud to donate a portion of Philadelphia proceeds to Greener Partners, a nonprofit that strengthens access to local food, offers training to new farmers, and educates consumers about the origins of ingredients.
