Experience a once in a lifetime opportunity to taste signature bites from all five of Oregon's James Beard Foundation Award winners and all 14 James Beard Foundation Award nominees along with Oregon's finest food and beverage under one roof, on the same night.

Hailed as the "Oscars of the food world," the James Beard Awards for Excellence are the most coveted honor in the culinary community.

Oregon's own James Beard (1905 - 1985), anointed the "dean of American cookery" by the New York Times in 1954, nurtured a generation of American chefs and cookbook authors who changed the way we eat and laid the groundwork for America's prominence today as a global culinary powerhouse. Join us in celebration of his legacy. Proceeds from the event benefit the James Beard Foundation.
