Behind the scenes at a Beard House Dinner

What do you get when you mix rock star chefs, a bunch of meat lovers and premium, swoon-worthy ingredients? A big, beefy feast for your taste buds.

We called it Carnivores’ Delight … and was it ever!

The event was held at the renowned James Beard House in New York City and featured food from a handful of the country’s most talented chefs.

The meal also starred the talents of pastry chef Megan Romano of Chocolate and Spice Bakery & Café in Las Vegas, and guest wine speaker Manny Nieves of Grady’s Fine Wines in Cleveland.

Our own Chef Scott Popovic served his infamous Certified Angus Beef ® brisket chili in bone. The carnivores were most definitely delighted.

These top-notch chefs pulled out all the stops. Take a look at these amazing dishes …

The food was exquisite — clearly the result of amazing teamwork and a well-oiled machine behind the scenes.

The camaraderie was evident in every perfectly plated dish.




 

 

And here they are: the magic behind the curtain, the drive behind fabulous flavors.

A true dream team putting their best — and beyond — on every single plate served. These chefs were the reason for every carnivore’s delight that night.

You’ll find that same perfection in their restaurants.
