For this year's holiday gala and fund-raising auction, the James Beard Foundation choose to highlight truffles—and, more specifically, le città del tartufo (the truffle towns of Italy). And so it seemed fitting that the decor at Guastavino's on Thursday evening took on a forestlike feel to evoke the countryside setting where these sought-after fungi are found. (It also served as a reminder that one of the auction items was a trip for two to Italy during truffle season.)

The foundation's vice president, Mitchell Davis, and its director of sponsorships and special events, Yvon Moller, worked with Flaherty & Company to plan the affair. MORE >>
