The Research Chefs Association (RCA) returns to the James Beard House for a 15-course tasting menu honoring the works of Julia Child! A celebrated chef, author, and television personality, Julia Child was also the driving force for preserving the James Beard House and establishing the James Beard Foundation in honor of her great friend, Chef James Beard.

Each course will be paired with a choice of wine or NA cocktail, all which have been developed by the talented team of chefs from across the country from The Research Chefs Association. Each course is a modern adaptation of one of Julia’s classic French recipes.

The Research Chefs Association is the leading professional community for food research and development.
