Since 1986, the James Beard Foundation has celebrated and honored chefs and other leaders making America’s food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable for everyone. On Friday, The James Beard Foundation (JBF) hosted The JBF Gala: A Night of Award Winners. This year’s JBF celebrated the incomparable and gracious, Susan Ungaro. As some of you may or may not know, Susan has decided to leave her position as president of JBF, saying “I’ve been at this for 11 years and I feel I have one more adventure in my career, something meaningful, maybe one that’s less taxing than this.” Under her inspiring leadership, the foundation has risen not only in accolades and programs, but fundraising as well. JBF’s annual income more than tripled to nearly $12 million since the previous fiscal year. What an amazing way to send Susan Ungaro off on her next adventure.
