An exclusive dining event benefiting the James Beard Foundation at Westin Kierland Resort on Oct. 18, 2013. A unique range of local cuisines saw the gathering of the finest chefs, local farmers, artisanal producers, and food enthusiasts. A silent auction of many great donated items also helped in the foundation's mission to honor America's diverse culinary heritage to educate and inspire.
