Wednesday, March 2, 6:00 P.M.

Columbia Valley Terroir
Portland’s James John Cafe developed a cult following for its simple bistro cuisine, which proudly features the bounty of the Pacific Northwest.

Friday, March 4, 12:00 P.M.
Spectacular Southeast Asian Lunch
Frequented by celebrities drawn to its sleek setting, Pranna began earning raves for its modern Southeast Asian food after Keith Kornfeld took over the kitchen last June. Kornfeld, who most recently cooked at Nahm, the first Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in Europe, will showcase his evocative fusion cuisine at this Beard House luncheon.
Saturday, March 5, 7:00 P.M.
Umbrian Vegetarian Feast
During past visits to the Beard House, Lorenzo Polegri has wowed us with his rich, hearty interpretations of traditional Umbrian cuisine. This time the Italian culinary star will collaborate with chefs Kim Brookmire and Edwin M.
