I don't like gourmet cooking or "this" cooking or "that" cooking. I like good cooking. -- James Beard (1903-1985).
Do you remember when the notion of a celebrity chef was as preposterous as a celebrity bus driver? Chefs were hidden in the back of restaurants, away from the prying eyes. Who knew or cared who was preparing their food when they ventured out?
So how did he create the era of the celebrity chef? The James Beard Foundation created by Julia Childs after Beard died offers scholarships and grants to aspiring chefs. The James Beard Foundation Awards are the annual Academy Awards for top chefs and culinary professionals. To win a Beard Foundation Award is to mark the winner, by his peers as one of the best in the industry.

How lovely. Till now I'd not heard of this man, thank you. I really like the quote; very sensible if you ask me.
Sadly, the Beard Awards have now become a joke, easily procured and skill not a particularly important requirement.
These are awesome. But why no reversible bow ties that can be worn two different ways? They have some nice ones at BoTyZ com
How would one phrase a sincere compliment about a bow tie? “Great Bow Tie My Man?” :)
