The James Beard Foundation is a national not-for-profit ­ 501(c)(3) organization based in New York City dedicated to furthering the practice and appreciation of the culinary arts in America.

The purpose of The James Beard Foundation, according to its bylaws, is:
To celebrate, preserve, and nurture America's culinary heritage and diversity in order to elevate the appreciation of our culinary excellence.

"You can only guess that the food editors of Newsday found the essence of that Sanskrit phrase in the hospitality at Salaam Bombay. “Tribeca’s upscale Indian restaurant knows how to please a crowd,” they wrote in a round-up of the city’s best Indian restaurants. This is one time to follow the crowd, as they head to Beard House to savor the taste of India."
