James Beard Foundation Honors Café Momentum Founder Chad Houser; story by Eve Hill-Agnus / Edible Dallas Fort Worth

"In April, the renowned James Beard Foundation’s Achievement Awards committee announced Chad Houser, Founder of Café Momentum, as the 2025 Humanitarian of The Year.

The award is given to 'an individual or organization working in the realm of food who has given selflessly and worked tirelessly to better the lives of others and society at large.' It is intended to reward those 'making a profound impact on the food system through advocacy, sustainability and community driven initiatives' and to celebrate those who use 'food as a force for good' by addressing vital subjects within the larger food sphere."
