Hosted at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, the ceremony brought together some of the industry’s finest talents for an evening filled with creativity, recognition, and inspiring stories.
A Celebration of Talent and Innovation

Among the night’s big winners, "California Bountiful" was awarded Best Green or Organic Program, while "Tasting Italy with Roberto Serrini"claimed two awards, including Best New Series.
The Best of Africa, Europe, and Latin America categories highlighted remarkable projects exploring global culinary cultures, such as "Breaking Baguettes", a French gastronomic journey, and "A Tale of Two Teas", which delves into African tea traditions.
Honoring Industry Icons
The prestigious Taste Hall of Fame inducted influential figures such as Edward Delling-Williams and Esteban Mercer, while the highly coveted Anthony Bourdain Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to World Central Kitchen, the humanitarian organization founded by Chef José Andrés.
A Feast for the Senses
The night also celebrated the power of visual storytelling with the Taste Photo Awards, and the impact of digital media through the Best TikTok/Facebook/Instagram Video Award, won by The Gingers.
With exquisite wines from R&B Cellars and Rescue Dog Wines, along with artisanal ciders from Gowan’s, the event was a true sensory experience, perfectly embodying its mission to honor the culture of taste in all its forms.
Quality, not quantity
We have made quality our habit. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.
