THE JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION
Recognized by the James Beard Foundation

Chef Anthony Lamas put his culinary talents on display at the renowned James Beard House in New York August 22, 2002 and October 16, 2004. Selected by the culinary center as a "Rising Star of American Cuisine," Lamas and his staff brought his "nuevo Latino" cuisine to the house which showcases the talents of chefs from across the United States. The playful, exotic 6 course meal featured bocaditos or little bites, such as "Crab Cigars" served in decorative glass ashtrays. Lamas also recreated the dinner in Louisville to thank locals for their support and offer Louisville patrons the opportunity to experience the prestigious event without traveling to New York.
