The James Beard Awards, established in 1990, recognizes talent and achievement in the culinary arts, hospitality, media, and broader food system. The awards took place following a two-year hiatus.

The 2022 awards took place Monday in Chicago with 1,800 people in attendance following a two-year hiatus.

“We are delighted to finally be back in Chicago celebrating the 2022 Restaurant and Chef Awards and bringing attention to our industry, that still needs support...as we recognize outstanding food and beverage professionals, we also honor our entire industry—and the incredible resilience, fortitude, talent, and leadership so many have shown over the past two years," said Clare Reichenbach, CEO of the James Beard Foundation.
