With a scant four days before the 25th Annual James Beard Awards in Chicago, we’re busy packing our bags, prepping our hair and makeup, and prognosticating about which nominees will grab the coveted medallions. The Awards are always full of surprises and singular moments, so for this week’s TBT we’re looking back at an unlikely pairing of pasta and percussion from last year’s ceremony. This dynamic duo of drumstick wielders is the kind of flavor combination you’ll only find at the Beard Awards. Tune in to our livestream Monday night to see what’s on the menu for this year.
