“The Oscars of the food world.” -Time Magazine

Covering all aspects of the industry – from chefs and restaurateurs to cookbook authors and food journalists to restaurant designers and architects and more – the James Beard Foundation Awards are the highest honors for food and beverage professionals working in America. The awards are presented each spring at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. Nominees and winners are fêted at a weekend of gala events in New York City that has become the social and gastronomic highlight of the year.

Linton Media collaborates with the talented event production company, Bowen and Co, to produce content for the 3 nights of award ceremonies in New York and Chicago. This annual project typically includes Open videos to announce the theme at each ceremony, Lifetime Achievement, Humanitarian of the year, as well as 5 America’s Classics videos profiling restaurants around the country. We also then shoot and produce an annual wrap video highlighting the event sponsors and showcasing the talents of the evening.
