About us
The James Beard Foundation’s mission is to celebrate, nurture, and honor chefs and other leaders making America's food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable for everyone. Food matters. You are what you eat not only because food is nutrition, but also because food is an integral part of our everyday lives. Food is economics, politics, entertainment, culture, fashion, family, passion...and nourishment. The James Beard Foundation is at the center of America's culinary community, dedicated to exploring the way food enriches our lives. A cookbook author and teacher, James Beard was a champion of American cuisine who helped educate and mentor generations of professional chefs and food enthusiasts. Today the Beard Foundation continues in the same spirit by offering a variety of events and programs designed to educate, inspire, entertain, and foster a deeper understanding of our culinary culture. These programs include the Open For Good Campaign, Chef’s Bootcamp for Policy and Change, Beard House Fellows, Legacy Network, Scholarship Program, Smart Catch, and Women’s Leadership Programs. In addition to maintaining the historic James Beard House in New York City’s Greenwich Village as a “performance space” for visiting chefs, the Foundation has created a robust online community, and hosts conferences, tastings, lectures, workshops, and food-related art exhibits in New York City and around the country. The James Beard Foundation is a national not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in New York City.

In kitchens nationwide, workers know that when they hear “behind you,” someone is close by. In an industry often characterized by long shifts, loud kitchens, sharp tools, and high stress, a strong support system changes everything. Our partner, Southern Smoke Foundation, has recently expanded its mental health program, Behind You, and is now able to provide no-cost mental health counseling for food and beverage workers in California, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Maine, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington D.C.

“My mom always told me to think outside of the box, both in life in general and in cooking, and to have fun. This has become my life philosophy and guided my creation process. It always starts with ‘what if?’” Meet Masako Morishita, this year’s James Beard Award Winner® for Emerging Chef presented by S.Pellegrino® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water. Originally from Kobe, Japan, Morishita first came to the United States to join a professional cheerleading team, later discovering her passion for cooking as a vessel to share her culture with her community. Today, she proudly serves up her take on “Japanese comfort food with a modern twist” as executive chef at Perry's in Washington, D.C., while using her voice to help the next generation of chefs achieve their aspirations.
