When you fly Delta, the official airline of the James Beard Awards, you can count on world-class service, a wide spectrum of in-flight entertainment, and so much more. But what about a smart and engaging seatmate? Turns out you can have that, too.
Introducing Delta Innovation Class, a mentoring program at 35,000 feet. For this one-of-a-kind experience, the airline is flying forward-thinking leaders to events around the world. They’re also giving you a chance to tag along.
What does this have to do with JBF? One of the Delta Innovation Class destinations is the 2014 James Beard Foundation Awards on Monday, May 5, in New York City. The passenger flying there? 2014 JBF Outstanding Chef Award nominee Sean Brock. (For those of you keeping score, Brock won our Best Chef: Southeast Award in 2010.)
That’s right: this is an opportunity to fly Delta with one of America’s most celebrated chefs and attend one of the most exciting culinary events of the year.
