To honor “America’s First Foodie” who loved spending time at Serendipity3, the famous NYC restaurant is giving back a portion of proceeds to the James Beard Foundation

To celebrate its 68th anniversary, Serendipity3, the famous NYC landmark, is honoring one of the most influential icons in the food industry, James Beard. Available from Thursday, September 15 through Sunday, September 18, Serendipity3 is bringing back the famous “James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette with Urbani Kaluga Caviar and Crème Fraîche” to the menu for $68 with 10% of proceeds donated to James Beard Foundation.

The “James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette with Urbani Kaluga Caviar and Crème Fraîche” is a French style omelette infused with fine herbes, such as parsley, tarragon, chervil and chives—topped with a dollop of crème fraîche and finished with a generous 1/2 ounce of Urbani Kaluga Caviar. This iconic breakfast dish is also served with a herbed frisée salad with champagne vinaigrette.

James Beard, known as “America’s First Foodie,” loved and frequently dined at the NYC establishment. During his time spent at the restaurant, he connected with Serendipity’s founders, the “Three Princes of Serendip”— eventually teaching them how to make the “James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette with Crème Fraîche and Kaluga Caviar”.
