James Beard Foundation's Taste America®

What’s even better than dinner prepared by a nationally recognized, critically acclaimed chef? Dinner prepared by multiple chefs of that caliber, of course!

As I write this, we are gearing up to take the James Beard Foundation on the road for our second annual national epicurean tour, Taste America® presented by Chase Sapphire Preferred® Visa Signature. This year, we’re making stops in ten cities, where we’ll be joined by our Taste America All-Stars, a select group of some of the country’s most talked about
chefs, led by this year’s honorary All-Star Chef, Daniel Boulud. (See below for cities, dates, and All-Stars).

What makes this year’s Taste America so special is that we are pairing these All-Stars with local award-winning chefs from each city to create unique one-night-only dinners that people will be talking about long after they’ve finished dessert.

But the fun won’t stop there. Many of our Taste America chefs will also be with us for our day of public programs at local Sur La Table stores, which will include free cooking demonstrations and tastings from local artisanal vendors. We can’t wait to bring America’s finest chefs, artisans, and food enthusiasts together to celebrate excellence in American cuisine through these special dinners and demonstrations. I hope you’ll join us!
