The James Beard Foundation is known for honoring culinary excellence, but now it's turning the spotlight on ethics.
Chef Sam Fore, a finalist for this year’s awards, told the paper that an anonymous complaint made her the subject of an investigation by the organization. Fore runs Tuk Tuk, a pop-up that provides cuisine inspired by foods she ate while growing up in Lexington, Ky., as the daughter of Sri Lankan immigrants. She was interviewed by a Beard investigator over social media posts.
“I realize that my presence is a good look for Beard, but I cooked my way across the country to get to this level,” she toldThis comes on the heels of Alabama-based chef Timothy Hontzas who wasthis year. He went public with his ouster after he received a message that he was disqualified when an investigation by the foundation deemed he violated the ethics code by his yelling at employees and customers.
In a sign of how the Beards have approached this new code of ethics in an opaque way, Hontzas is still listed as a nominee on thedespite his disqualification. Because the foundation keeps its ethics investigations secret, it doesn’t remove names of disqualified people from news releases or ballots. This means that had Hontzas not revealed the disqualification to the public, he could have attended the Chicago June gala and even received the most votes in the category.
