Don’t miss the 6th annual FEAST (Food, Equity and Access Sustains Tomorrow) a fabulous gathering of chefs, beverage producers, and musicians for an incredible walk-around experience that highlights the richness and versatility of Kentucky’s bounty. FEAST is also the brainchild of JBF Award Semifinalist and Chef Bootcamp for Policy and Change™ alum Ouita Michel and four other JBF Chef Bootcamp alums, inspired to use their collective network to impact change. 

FEAST supports FoodChain, a Lexington nonprofit that links education, programming, and sustainable food systems with the local community. Feast is made possible with the generous support of Nancy Barron & Associates, VisitLex, Kentucky Proud, and Holly Hill & Co.

FEAST is part of the Friends of James Beard Benefit series; events hosted by generous people, businesses, and organizations outside of JBF that provide critical funding for our programs. Each event supports our mission to champion a standard of Good Food for Good© anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.
