James Beard's Chefs And Champagne Already Making Me Hungry (And Thirsty!)

This Saturday the James Beard Foundation is honoring the prolific and rather ubiquitous Wolfgang Puck at its annual summer gala, held at the Wolffer Estate in Sagaponack. While Puck's cuisine can be found in every city, supermarket, and airport, the event's edibles will be definitely more exclusive.

Govind Armstrong, Harold Dieterle, Anne Burrell, Craig Hopson, Oliver Muller, Bill Telepan, and Fabio Trabocchi are only a few standouts among the 35 contributing chefs. In case your tastebuds need further teasing, the menu is reprinted below. Oh, and there's also going to be all-you-can-quaffables from Henriot, Lanson, and Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne.
