The Friends of James Beard Chef Invitational at Sand Valley is a way to have a little unexpected fun while the midwestern winter melts away. We’re bringing together some of the best chefs in the Midwest for a weekend-long food affair that you simply cannot experience anywhere else. While you embark on a culinary journey, participate in a little friendly competition along the way. Join us in 2024 for a special weekend of food, fun, and fundraising.

Programming is subject to change and we will continue to publish updates, so check back often.
