This is very special item for the Foodie in your life. It is a one-night-only dinner at the famed James Beard House, the high temple of American gastronomy situated in the former townhouse of celebrated cookbook author, television personality, and "grandfather" of the contemporary American food movement, James Beard.

The James Beard Foundation is at the center of America's culinary community, dedicated to exploring the way food enriches our lives and indulges all our senses.  Why not join them at the table with this unique opportunity to dine and indulge in a member’s-only meal (without becoming a member)?

Over 20 dining events are held monthly at the James Beard House and each meal here is prepared by a visiting guest chef and their kitchen brigade. These chefs are among the most skillful culinary talents in the world. 

Each dinner at the Beard House consists of three to five passed hors d’oeuvres, five courses including dessert, and matching wines for each course.  No matter who’s cooking, this will sure be a meal to remember for a lifetime.

As with all Beard House events, guests enter through Mr. Beard’s kitchen to meet the guest chef for the evening. Dinners start with a reception at 7:00 P.M., during which time aperitifs and hors d’oeuvre are served in the greenhouse or in the garden (weather permitting). Guests are seated at 7:45 P.M., and dinner service begins at 8:00 P.M.
