4. The prestigious honors began with Haley being named the 2014 James
Beard Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year, an award previously given to
such luminaries as the late actor Paul Newman and celebrity chef Emeril
Lagasse. Haley, who had aided those in need in Nepal, Nicaragua and
Delaware, received the honor at a May 5 ceremony at New York's Lincoln
Center. The awards, attended by just about every celebrity chef
imaginable, are often called "the Oscars" of the culinary world.
Within two weeks, Haley had learned he also was the recipient of The
National Restaurant Association's 2014 Cornerstone Humanitarian Award
in Washington, D.C., as well as the International Association of Culinary
Professionals' National Humanitarian Award in Chicago.
