James Beard Foundation Award#2011

The awards were established in 1990, when the foundation expanded its chef awards and combined them with Cook's Magazine's Who's Who of American Cooking and French's Food and Beverage Book Awards.{{cite news |last1=Fabricant |first1=Florence |title=Food Notes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/26/garden/food-notes-360890.html |work=New York Times |date=December 26, 1990 |page=4 |access-date=December 14, 2018 |archive-date=December 15, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215022357/https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/26/garden/food-notes-360890.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Reichl |first1=Ruth |title=Food Oscars . . .

In 2018, the James Beard Foundation changed the award's rules to be more inclusive, to fight race and gender imbalances in the industry. Changes include: judges reflecting the demographics of the U.S.; retiring the Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America awards which were judged by previous winners; adding leadership awards which focus on social justice issues; and waiving some media entry fees.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/dining/james-beard-awards-diversity.html|title=James Beard Foundation Makes Changes to Diversify Its Awards|last=Severson|first=Kim|date=October 2, 2018|work=The New York Times|access-date=June 11, 2019|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=May 8, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508051629/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/dining/james-beard-awards-diversity.html|url-status=live}}

{{Main|List of James Beard America's Classics}}

Although the awards tend to focus on upscale dining in large cities, since 1998 there has been an "America's Classics" category which honors legendary family-owned restaurants across the country. The "America's Classics" winners routinely draw the biggest applause of the night at the awards ceremony.{{cite news |last1=Anderson |first1=Brett |title=Galatoire's gets top James Beard Award |url=https://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2005/05/galatoires_gets_top_james_bear.html |work=The Times-Picayune |date=May 6, 2005 |quote=The 1,700 guests reserved perhaps their biggest applause for Willie Mae Seaton, 89, the proprietor of Willie Mae's Scotch House in the Treme.

The "Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America" was an award presented to members of the food and beverage industry who have been "identified by his or her peers as having displayed remarkable talent and achievement."{{cite web |url=https://www.jamesbeard.org/education/whos-who-food-and-beverage-america |title=Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America |publisher=James Beard Foundation |access-date=January 9, 2019 |archive-date=January 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190110183345/https://www.jamesbeard.org/education/whos-who-food-and-beverage-america |url-status=live }} The Who's Who awards were voted on by past honorees, with a ballot of 20 candidates distributed to the entire Who's Who group each year.

The honors were initially awarded by Cook's Magazine (the predecessor to Cook's Illustrated), which inaugurated the award in 1984 but ceased publication in 1990. The award was administered by the James Beard Foundation from 1990 to 2018 and presented at the annual gala. The foundation decided to retire the awards after 2018, citing a new commitment to inclusion.{{cite news|url=https://www.foodandwine.com/news/james-beard-foundation-awards-policy-applicants|title=The James Beard Foundation Makes Major Changes to Its Awards Process|last1=Yagoda|first1=Maria|date=October 2, 2018|work=Food & Wine Magazine|access-date=December 6, 2018|archive-date=December 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181207000710/https://www.foodandwine.com/news/james-beard-foundation-awards-policy-applicants|url-status=live}} Including the inductees from the 1980s, the final Who's Who list included nearly 300 individuals.{{cite web |title=Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America Members |url=https://www.jamesbeard.org/whos-who-of-food-and-beverage-in-america-members |website=James Beard Foundation |access-date=January 10, 2019 |quote=From 1984 to 2018 the Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America represented a cadre of accomplished food and beverage professionals in the country.
