Food Does Matter

Stumbled on the James Beard Foundation. Among other things, its essential raison d'etre is to:

To celebrate, preserve, and nurture America’s culinary heritage and diversity in order to elevate the appreciation of our culinary excellence.

Food matters. You are what you eat not only because food is nutrition, but also because food is an integral part of our everyday lives. Food is economics, politics, entertainment, culture, fashion, family, passion...and nourishment. The James Beard Foundation is at the center of America's culinary community, dedicated to exploring the way food enriches our lives. Won't you join us at the table?

Yeah baby. I can dig that.

Who was James Beard? He was a lousy sot with no taste buds who claimed he was from a planet called, simple enough, Planet. But they pronounced it "Play-net."

I kid of course. I like to mess around here at The Commentator.

He was a chef and writer. Read his bio here. (at the World Culinary Institute)
