Awards are the premier honors for fine food and beverage professionals
in North America. More than 60 Awards are given to chefs, restaurateurs,
cookbook authors, journalists, broadcasters and restaurant designers.
Award nominees and winners are selected by secret ballot by their
industry peers. More than 400 food and beverage professionals vote.
Each judge is assigned to vote in one or more award categories,
