The Full List of 2016 James Beard Foundation Book, Broadcast, and Journalism Winners

Congratulations to all

Tonight in a ceremony at the James Beard House in Manhattan, the Foundation announces its Book, Broadcast, and Journalism Winners for 2016. Last month, the Beard Foundation released its list of finalists in all categories, and today each list three or so names will be whittled down to one winner.

The winners in the categories of Restaurant and Chef will be announced at a gala at the Lyric Opera of Chicago on Monday, May 2. This will be the second (and likely final) year the awards will be held in Chicago. Here now are the winners on the literary and production side of things.
