This week: James Beard Awards weekend in Chicago; recipes; EYBD Previews and more

As you are reading this week’s roundup, Jane, Darcie and I are headed to Chicago for the James Beard Media Awards ceremony on Saturday night at Columbia College Chicago. We are looking forward to some great food, seeing familiar and new faces, and lots of cookbook love. We’ll be tweeting results live and doing our usual awards post. (Update: Friday morning due to illness, I ended up having to make the hard decision to cancel my trip.)

Typically, the media awards are held in New York but this year James Beard is combining the restaurant awards and media awards all in the same weekend in Chicago. Above is a photo of Lyric Opera House where the Restaurant and Chef Awards will be held on June 13th.

We will have a full report for you once we return.
