Calumet Fisheries was named one of the five honorees for the 2010 James Beard Foundation Awards America’s Classics category. This year’s five America’s Classics honorees were celebrated at the annual James Beard Foundation Awards, the nation’s most prestigious recognition program honoring professionals in the food and beverage industries, in an awards ceremony taking place on Monday, May 3, 2010, at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York City.
The America’s Classics award is given to restaurants with timeless appeal, beloved for quality food that reflects the character of their community – from small, regional restaurants, watering holes and shacks, to lunch counters and down-home eateries that have carved out a special place on the American culinary landscape.
