The Diplomatic Culinary Partnership - James Beard Foundation and the State

The Diplomatic Culinary Partnership, a collaborative initiative between the U.S. State Department and the James Beard Foundation, aims to use America's culinary talent as a means of diplomacy. Some of the country's most prominent chefs are now the American Chef Corps, who have "agreed to serve as resources to the Department of State in its efforts to incorporate culinary engagement into its ongoing public diplomacy efforts."
