Celebrating James, Julia and Jacques

A Bowtie, a Magnum, and a Beautiful Piece of Original Art

This is your opportunity to celebrate three culinary masters - James Beard, Julia Child, and Jacques Pepin - through these exclusive, unique gifts.

• Original art by Jacques Pepin: In addition to his many talents as a chef, culinary educator, and author, Jacques is also a highly gifted fine artist known for his whimsical illustrations, especially of his menus. This original painting
  is Jacques' take on this evening's menu and is a one-of-a-kind treasure.
• A blue and white bowtie from James Beard's own collection: James was famous for his collection of bowties; this white and blue paisley beauty is one of few surviving from James' personal collection, directly from the James Beard Foundation's own archives.
• A Commendation Magnum created to
  celebrate Julia Child's 90th birthday, signed by Julia Child herself: Duckhorn Vineyards' Napa Valley Merlots
  are world-class, but this magnum from the 1999 vintage is truly priceless. It is one of just a handful produced in honor of Julia Child's storied 90th birthday gala held at Copia in 2002 by the American Institute of Wine & Food.

*Live Auction packages are available for bidding at our 2023 Gala taking place the evening of November 3rd in New York City. If you are interested in placing a proxy bid for any of these lots, please reach out to Nick Piccora at npiccora@jamesbeard.org so we can make arrangements with you.

Dinner for 24 with the Team Behind NARO

Fully immerse yourself in a Korean culinary experience at the James Beard House!
Your party of 24 will enjoy an incredible meal from the award-winning team behind NARO and two of the world's best restaurants, Atomix and Atoboy.

Atomix, named for the Korean word "ato" which means "gift," has received top honors since opening, including a 2023 James Beard Award, two Michelin stars, three stars from the New York Times, a "World's 50 Best" listing,
and more. Atomix is a follow-up to the award winning Atoboy, which celebrates NYC through
Korean cuisine and is inspired by the concept of banchan: small side dishes served with every Korean meal.

Husband-and-wife duo Junghyun 'JP' and Ellia Park named their latest restaurant NARO, the Korean phrase for "through me" - as an homage to Korea's first-ever space launch. NARO's executive chef Nate Kuester
focuses on the subtle and delicate flavors of hansik, or traditional Korean cuisine. The
long-held Korean techniques of fermentation, preservation, and jangs, or sauces, add depth
and warmth to his dishes.

You and your party will relax in the comfort of the James Beard House while enjoying a cocktail hour and a truly unique Korean meal designed by an incredible team.

Package includes:

• Cocktail hour for twenty-four (24)
• Three-course sit-down dinner for twenty-four (24) at the Beard House by the NARO team

*Date and time to be coordinated with the winning bidder and the JBF Gala committee
