James Beard: America’s First Foodie

“James Beard: America’s First Foodie” is a feature-length documentary about, James Beard.

Beard, the man the New York Times dubbed the “Dean of American Cookery,” Beard was a Portland native who loved and regaled the bounty of the Pacific Northwest long before it would become hip to do so. He spoke of the importance of localism and sustainability long before those terms had entered the vernacular.

At a time of “all things French,” Beard appreciated what America had to bring to the table. James Beard introduced Julia Child to New York, boosting her place as a culinary grande dame.

Child in turn once said, “I may have brought French cooking to America, but Jim brought American cooking to America.”

The dates for Brigadoon Sundance 2018 are February 25 -27.

The event is more retreat and less conference. 

Think of it as a mountain weekend where participants will be exposed to new ideas, discuss global issues, talk about enterprise, play in the snow, and ultimately leave the gathering smarter.

Ticket sales end on January 25, 2018.
