Best Restaurants in Dallas - The French Room Friends of James Beard Dinner

On Sunday, October 21st, The French Room hosts the first ever Friends of the James Beard Benefit dinner held in Dallas, supporting the next generation of great American chefs.

Set for Oct. 21, the restaurant’s newly appointed executive chef, Anthony Dispensa, will bring together his former culinary mentors, including Bradley Ogden, James Beard Foundation Best California Chef and Restaurant of the Year winner, and some of the city’s most celebrated local chefs to raise money for the next generation of great American chefs.

The evening will begin with a Champagne reception in The French Room Bar followed by an eight-course seated dinner in the dining room featuring exquisite wine pairings by The French Room’s sommelier, Leslie Hartman. For this special evening, each participating chef creates a course highlighting the ingredients of fall – ultimately creating a menu that is a true culinary collaboration by some of the country’s best chefs.

For one evening, top culinary talents from across the country collaborate to create an unforgettable celebration benefiting the James Beard Foundation and its programs. Each of the Foundation’s diverse programs, inclusive of educational initiatives, scholarships for culinary students, chef advocacy training and more, help to further its mission to create, nurture and honor chefs.
