Foodie Friday: Gearing Up For JBF Awards 2012





By Debbie Mitchell

This week's Foodie Friday is a big one. It's the beginning of the 2012 James Beard Foundation Awards (JBF) weekend.  Yeh! 

For all you foodies out there you know winning a James Beard Award is like winning an  Oscar in the food world.  Tonight I and my fellow James Beard Broadcast and New Media committee members will join the JBF at a  dinner to award the nominees in the James Beard Foundation Book, Broadcast & Journalism category (I will have a full report next week).  It is going to be a weekend of eating and greeting, ending with a food finale at the  James Beard Gala event at Avery Fisher Hall on Monday, May 7 with Master of Ceremonies Food Network Star Alton Brown.  Of course I am running around trying to figure out what to wear but will give you a look inside JBF and it's many events. Lets start at the the house in New York's Greenwich Village. The photos of the house are courtesy of my friend Lora, Diary of a MadHausfrau when we attended the recent  Jemima Code Exhibit.
