James Beard Journalism Awards Announced: A Few Thoughts From Your SE Overlord
I attended the James Beard Journalism Awards, and as you might imagine I have a few things to say. First of all, the big winners:
Best Food Section: The San Francisco Chronicle rightfully bested the Boston Globe, which has a pretty good food section, and the Chicago Tribune, which really doesn't. One thing to note: The New York Times has a policy against entering.
The Best National Television Show Award went to Gourmet's intriguing attempt at doing something that isn't the same old, same old: "Diary of a Foodie." America's Test Kitchen, which is fun in a geeky way, and Lidia's Family Table, which is homey and heartfelt to the max, rounded out the field.
I have many reservations about the winners in the more heavy-duty writer's categories, and I will be posting about those shortly.
