Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927.

  • Marco Pierre White to Open New Salisbury Restaurant
    Marco Pierre White To Open New Salisbury Restaurant 29 June 2020: One of the country’s most recognizable and best-known chefs is to open a new restaurant in Salisbury. Called The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, the 80-cover restaurant will be located at The Stones Hotel and will start to welcome customers towards the end of the summer. Replacing the hotel’s on-site restaurant, the move to open one of the famed chef’s steakhouses follows a deal between Black and White Hospitality, which owns the franchise rights to eight of Pierre White’s restaurant concepts, and David Matton who took ownership of the venue in May 2013. Arguably the greatest ever UK chef, the famed restaurateur has led the UK gastronomy scene for over 30 years. Having helped kick-start the careers of many famous chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal and Jason Atherton, all of whom trained under him, he has now confirmed that his latest restaurant will be in the hotel that is located on the outskirts of the cathedral city. Famed for his no-nonsense approach the restaurant comprises everything you would expect from a traditional steakhouse but with the superior quality synonymous from someone of his reputation. Bringing to life Marco’s own philosophy of what he describes as ‘affordable glamour’, the Steakhouse Bar & Grill’s exciting and dining experience includes signature steaks, and timeless English and French classics. The menu, which is developed by Marco himself, includes a mix of childhood favourites and modern-day classics and follows his ethos of serving food that’s simply cooked using the best ingredients.
