Winners Announced for 2006 James Beard Foundation Awards. Nation's Culinary Leaders Honor New Orleans Restaurants for Their Humanitarian Efforts

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/10/2006 -- Winners were announced the night of May 8th for the 2006 James Beard Foundation Awards, the nation's premier honors within the culinary industry. The awards were presented during a ceremony at the New York Marriott Marquis that included a poignant tribute to the restaurants of New Orleans for their heroic resilience and service to their community in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Established in 1990, the awards recognize excellence in the categories of books, restaurants and chefs, broadcasting, print journalism, restaurant design and industry achievement. A total of 70 award recipients were named this year. Winners received a bronze medallion engraved with the image of James Beard. A list of award nominees and winners can be found at www.jamesbeard.org.

A festive celebration followed the awards ceremony, featuring classic and contemporary fare from more than 20 chefs from New Orleans and a live jazz band. Another highlight was a new exhibit from The Southern Food and Beverage Museum, which documented the efforts of New Orleans restaurants to support their city after the hurricane.
