Back in February the James Beard Foundation released its "long list" of restaurant and chef semifinalists, and this coming Monday (March 19 at 11AM PST / 2PM EST) the JBF will announce the finalists at The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas. In addition, for the first time ever, there will be a livestream of the video of the announcement, and that stream will be found right here on Eater.com.
The winners will then be announced at the James Beard Foundation Awards on Monday, May 7, 2012 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall in New York City.
