James Beard Foundation Taste America: Carolinas
A national dining event celebrating your local restaurant community.

The James Beard Foundation’s Taste America® presented by American Express and Resy brings together chefs, special guests, and diners from across the country to celebrate the local independent restaurants at the heart of our communities.
