Puck to be honored by Beard Foundation

The James Beard Foundation's Lifetime Achievement award this year will go to Wolfgang Puck, whose menu for The Academy Awards Governors Ball is almost as eagerly anticipated as the awards themselves.

Puck - who has won multiple honors from the foundation and is the only chef to have twice received its Most Outstanding Chef award - was chosen for his talent as a chef and restaurateur, as well as for his history of revolutionizing how American chefs think about food, foundation president Susan Ungaro said in a release.

The award will be presented during the foundation's annual awards gala on May 7 in New York.
