Each year, the James Beard Foundation's Celebrity Chef Tour dinner series features a taste of what happens at the James Beard House in
New York City in more than 20 cities across the country, and the dinner was held in Memphis on May 18 at the FedEx Event Center at
Shelby Farms. Culinary enthusiasts enjoyed a multi-course dinner with wine pairings featuring local chefs - Chef Erling Jensen and Chef
Jimmy Gentry - along with several James Beard Foundation Award winners from across the country. jamesbeard.org
