The James Beard Foundation is acutely aware of the health and safety concerns surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic. We are also mindful of how this virus is negatively impacting the hospitality industry at large, both from a well-being and economic standpoint. As such, we have decided to postpone our upcoming Taste America events in Los Angeles. We greatly value the warm welcome and generous support we have received in the Los Angeles community, and hope that you will join us for this future celebration.  

Our Los Angeles Raising the Bar Reception and Gala Dinner (originally scheduled for April 1-2, 2020) will move to Fall 2020 (exact date to be announced).

If you purchased tickets, your ticket(s) will be automatically transferred to the new date. If you are unable to make the new date, please contact finance@jamesbeard.org for a credit or refund.  Refund requests will be honored until 30 days out from the event (we will remind you of this exact date when we announce the rescheduled date of the event).  We hope you will maintain your reservation until we can confirm the new date.
